Overall, I think you did alright. Sounds like a little stronger coach management might be needed though. When a coach goes ballistic, deal with the behavior.

I know it’s easier to think about what you could do better when you’re not on the court getting yelled at by a coach, but try a simple, calm comment to his unfounded requests. His wanting to negate the foul because of no time coming off the clock or the reshooting of the free throw because the disqualified player not being subbed, might be responded to with something like “That is not supported by rule, Coach”. If he goes any further then take care of business as needed.
You said things quieted down after the T. Maybe the T was needed a bit sooner.

I’ve had days very similar to the one you mentioned and I’m still trying get a better handle on those. But I’m beginning to learn that how I compose myself and maintain my focus makes the biggest difference.
BTW, that’s not the last “bad day” you’ll have.
