Timeout to vent - among other things

I had a good game going last night...until the fourth quarter. The visiting team is probably playing over their heads, but are staying in the game. I will try to shorten this as much as possible.

1. I call a T on #10 for unsporting conduct - he was jumping around after a foul call.
2. The coach tells me I just changed the game. During the fourth quarter his team was down 6 after missing two free throws and the front end of two bonus free throws. Also, his team was in the bonus when the home team wasn't. Yeah, that is all on me.
3. The U1 called a T on the coach for saying, "That was a F'd up call and you all are all F'd up."
4. After informing the coach that he had to sit down, he asked for a timeout and I granted it. He thought that the timeout gave him the priviledge to talk to us during it. I told him he could take the timeout with his team and he said, "That is Bullsh_t." T number 2 and he is gone.
5. I moved to the opposite side of the court, but on the same end, to where he had to walk to leave. Instead of walking out, he comes over to me and continues to talk. T number 3.
6. After the first two shots, of 6, the U2 gives the assistant a T because the assistant was up because he thought he could stand now, the U2 told him he couldn't and he said, "You all are all full of crap." We now shoot 8 free throws all together.
7. With 1:37 to go in the game, the head coach thinks he can come back in to watch. I tell the game administrator he must leave and we eventually get the game finished.

We end the game with 13 fouls on the visiting team. So that means without 5 technicals they would have only had 8 team fouls and the home team would have just got to bonus free throws if at all because the 7th and 8th could have been shooting fouls.
I sent the report to the assignor last night and hopefully something is done about this coach. The worst part about a situation like this is his kids were playing OK and they were in the game. Also, in Mississippi the coaches have to come out of pocket when they get tossed.
