Not that we're concerned with how things would be perceived, but it is important to have support (especially when you have three games left to do in the same building).
There in lies the problem. You should not be worried about what Joe Public thinks at all. They are not the people that have your best interests at heart. Who gives a damn what someone thinks you are there for. And if you would have just T'd her up, everyone would have known these guys are not playing around today. Fans are bias and have agendas. Who cares what they think.

Throwing a coach out is not over-reacting. My partner last night threw out a coach for simply cursing at him in front of his players. We do not have to take that and certainly they are not paying us enough to take that kind of abuse during the summer time.

It sounds to me like you are worried about what others think rather than doing what is right for the game or the situation this coach put you in.

Peace
