I mean, I just GAVE him the chance to back off, didn't I? By saying "Thats enough" rather than just banging him?
I am sure there is more than one "right" answer here, so I don't want to suggest that I am certainly right - but I guess I just don't understand the idea that my job is to try to convince a coach to NOT get himself the T, and provide him more than one opportunity to go back to coaching. I wonder if we don't just encourage the same behavior since they tend to know we don't REALLY mean it when we say "That's enough".
I am relatively new to this (just a few years experience at the JV level), so perhaps as I do this more I will become more tolerant?

No, you'll just find more coaches understand what "enough" means. Or you'll find the right thing to say between "that's enough" and whacking him that really does shut him up. Sometimes people do go to the "that's enough" card a bit too quickly, not saying you or anyone else in this thread does.
