So thinking of my times on the board, I thought I'd asked him if he'd like to repeat what he just said to me....He didn't say anything so I asked him again...at this point he looks at me and says "BACK UP". I Td him for this comment....

Coach didn't like the block call or the T....said I initiated the T and shouldn't be in the kids face.
1) No need to explain your calls to players unless they ask.

2) No need to ask twice if the kid would like to repeat anything. You made your point the first time, and it worked. He didn't say anything more until you went after him again.

It does kinda sound like you baited the kid into the "T".

Jmo.
