These are two completely different descriptions of the event. nowhere did it say the Referee was staring the coach down too!
A few years ago I would have whacked this guy just on principle.
Now it would be a result of the call, his initial display plus this display that would determine the result of this encounter.
However I am not going to back down from the guy, I'm not going to blow him a kiss either. I am going to do the things, I am supposed to do durring the time out. But I wouldn't be shy about doing either.
I would hope that my partner(s) handled it so I didn't have to. However that turns out.
