It sounds from your description as though the only things he said about the fouls were "unbelievable" and the "good job" line. It doesn't sound profane or abusive to me. It's obviously disrespectful to a degree, but I think that personally I would not have given the T.

I think you may have had a chance to head the whole situation off by addressing him after the "unbelievable" comments: "Look, I'm not out to get you, but I'm not going to put up with your commentary." Something like that might have helped the situation.

Of course, I don't know you or him, and maybe addressing him directly would've given him an excuse to explode at you. Only you were there to know about that.

Having said all that, it's men's league and you should put up with zero BS.
