All things considered, the prolonged argument before, the attitude, and the personal comment, I dumped him.
Did you just walk away because the discussion had gone on for around 30 seconds? Was the coach repeating himself or doing anything to warrant you ending the conversation? I'm a bit confused as to why you would just abruptly walk away during that. If he had already been ejected I could see it.

However, once you turn and walk away in any situation like that, keep walking. Turning around after you get a few feet away, then engaging him again, or having him engage you, then following it up with an ejection...that doesn't look too good.
