I admit, my comment may have crossed a line. My next one sure did. "Coach, no one talks to me that way." Tweet. Magic Word = Technical Foul.

He then charged me. Partner who had also heard the comment and was already on his way over intercepted coach and issued a second Tech.
That comment, regardless of what was said before that, was totally unnecessary. It gives the impression that the coach has the right to decide what is appropriate on the court and what is not. Not T'ing him up here would give an impression of cowardice.

I hope this was mentioned in the report to the state association (if you had to fill one out for the ejection. I know some in some places, the fact the coach "charged" onto the court in "rage", would lead to more sanctions than the normal prescribed sanctions.
