Did he offer any assistance to the boy, or did he just come out to yell at you? The OP is a little unclear to me. If he comes out on to the court just to yell at you, I've got no problem with the T. If he comes out on the court to help the boy, and you're not going to T him for coming out without being beckoned (which I certainly wouldn't) then I have a little problem with the T for the comments. If he had said this to you on the sidelines, would you have considered T'ing him?

I say just let it slide, and let the coach know that you saw no foul or trip(the people who are good with words will probably be along shortly with a good phrase to use), and then let him get the kid off the court, and then remind him he needs to get a sub in and start the replacement interval.

On a final note, don't let how the T would affect the game decide whether or not you call it. If it's a T with one team up by 50, then it's a T in a tie game. And also, don't take the comments personally or become emotionally upset over them. Lord knows that if I took them all personally, I probably couldn't sleep at night. Just take it as the coach being stupid in the heat of the moment. Keep your cool, and you'll do just fine!
