So I think I'm just trying to figure out if I need to change
my way of thinking.
I admit I normally have a quicker trigger than alot of referees.
I think it is as devdog says, I just know what I will take and what I won't.
I've been taught by some pretty good people and I try to
handle things in a similar manner as they would.
I'm always learning and tweeking though.

I think Jurassic & Chuck summed it up for me. You did your
job by trying to talk this guy out of being a jerk, he
just refused to cooperate. Obviously he did not understand
his job. As for your tweaking, I think we can divide the
basketball world up into two parts: real basketball and the
rest of basketball. Certainly rec/AAU does not qualify
as real basketball for many good reasons. In a real game
you might have held off on the second T. So don't sweat it.
Also, and FWIW, I try to direct all warnings to the
assistant coach through the head coach. This let's him know
that it's now his job to leash his assistant. I'm sure
you know this, just throwing it in...
