First of all, thank you everyone for the feedback. I appreciate all of it.

You hit the nail on the head and that is exactly how I viewed the situation at the time. I just don't think she knew any better AND let her emotions get the better of her.
Now, I recognize I probably could've handled the situation better. I pride myself on usually having a very level head and maintaining my composure in tough situations but this one caught me at just the wrong time I guess. As I've said, this is something I've never had happen in one of my games and I was honestly a bit pissed. I don't really take kindly to people putting their hands on me in an aggressive manner.
For what it's worth, I did seem to get my point across because the coach didn't say boo the rest of the game and actually sought me out and apologized afterwards for losing her cool. I just said thanks as we left. I do see how the message could've been better delivered. As has been said, experience is the best teacher.
Thanks again folks.
