His response was "I'm NOT sitting down unless you T me up"

In 7 years, I don't think I've ever had a coach say that to me....They've certainly earned Ts from me...It's kind of along the lines of threating a coach with a T which I would never do but that's how I felt when he said it...Almost as if to see if I was willing to exercise my option to T....

SO what do you think...
I had a thirty year veteran today and he blew his whistle, stopped play, and told the coach to sit down for the rest of the game. No T, just sit down, and to make matters worse yells out, "this is just a sixth grade game" which set all the parents off.

T 'em up or forget it.
