Here's what I would have done:

(1) If I don't call interference right away, I'm not calling it at all. Then it looks like the coach talked you into it. However, if I talk to my partner, and he's sure he saw int, I approach the other coach, tell him "I wasn't sure, but after talking to my partner, I know now that I have int."

(2) Even if I'm having a "not-so-good" game, as soon as I know the coach want's to argue balls and strikes, I warn, "Coach, you may not leave your position to argue balls and strikes." If he takes another step and mentions the strike zone, I run him in a BIG way. Don't let your bad game be a free pass for the coaches.

(3) If a coach comes out to argue with me about a call I make, and to bolster his position, he asks a player what happened, I tell him, "This discussion is between you and me coach. You and I will discuss it." If he asks the player again, I run him. He's asking the player for one of two reasons, 1. He thinks you're lying (questioning integrity) or 2. making sure the player knows what a blind fool you are (showing you up). Either way, I bounce the coach and tell the kid not to lie to his coach.
