If he said it loud enough that anyone overheard it, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to eject. He's a teacher, and he's teaching unsportmanlike behavior; said loud enough, it was clearly an attempt to incite a response from his team, parents, and fans.

Well said.

Suppose that you had already left the field, and while you are walking outside the fence towards your car the coach (still on the field) goes into her tirade focused on you? Really happened to one of our newer guys last weekend.

What do you think? I will tell later what happened (no, it wasn't me but was one of my newer guys).
