I would not flag the coach because of his statements are true. Your U made a bull crap call, imho. I won't say that I would never flag a coach for this, because I "never say never, never say always".
It sounds as though the game went downhill because of this call. Lesson learned.

Why was his leg not let go of ? The rules are pretty clear. After a tackle and a runner attempts to stand you don’t mess with his legs. Where was the U taking a nap? Get the kid off of his legs. Talk, whistle, do something. I didn’t see it but the player’s reaction suggests he was defending himself. It is a tricky situation but a PF on leg grabber seems the way to go. The puncher puts you in a bad situation stern talking to makes a lot of sense. If you ejected someone for defending themselves (regardless of what they did) and didn’t penalize the provocation even though its obvious you are really encouraging a lot more chaos.
