Good job on both T's. Sounds like they were both very deserving. Coach did it to himself, I'm afraid. S/He won't admit that, but when he matures up, he'll understand.

Yes, and no. If a coach does it to himself, then don't be afraid to run him, as you did. Whenever I report a T, I try to do it by reporting as far away from the table as possible.

Sometimes these "been around" officials need to be humbled again. It's obvious his actions were unprofessional, and we've all been there before, but hopefully he will learn from it.

Of course send a report in. It sounds like both T's were spot-on calls. Also, there's nothing you can do about your P getting into a pissing match with the coach. I think you did a good job getting the admin involved when the "take my ball with me" attitude was presented. It sounds like this coach thinks his $h!t don't stink. These men also need humbling.
From what I can tell, you did your job fine. Your P is a grown adult and you needn't babysit him. I think being the voice of reason in their conversation was a good thing, though; who knows what would have happened.
