Where was your partner in relation to the coach? Was he standing beside the coach, with his back to the coach, etc.?
And I don't respond to comments unless I have to TCB. I didn't feel it was worth escalating there. I say something stupid or witty and he responds loudly and I've just baited him into something......

About the T:

Alongside with the coach slightly behind (him a step on court, coach in the box), completely non-confrontational. The coach talked, my partner stood there and listened, my partner calmly reminded him of the seatbelt. After the 4 FTs, my partner started over to administer the throw-in and I asked him to switch to put me opposite the table. Didn't look odd at all, just that we were coming together for a quick word before putting it back into play.

At halftime the home AD told me she knew the visiting coach extremely well and he gets his share of technical fouls.
