Instead of making more comments he went absolutely silent and made a bee-line for the bench. The coach had his tuchus on the bench before I could finish telling he had lost the bench. I have a feeling that he might have been tossed earlier in the season and a second ejection would have meant he would have been automatically suspended for the rest of the seaon including the post-season tournemant.

I don't know what bait you are talking about.
Your situation worked out for you. What I'm talking about is the other 99% of the time where it will not work that way and you should give the T and move away. What would you advise a younger official to do? I would say give the T and move away. What about you?
