I agree with Snaqwells. We are not there to comment on the quality of play. That type of a comment to an AD was probably taken as a little unproffesional.

I did my fair share of staring down coaches in my day. From my experience it hurts you more than helps you. Staring down or yelling at coaches takes the official down to the coach's level. We need to stay above the emotional aspect of the game. If the coach is out of line, treat them in a firm, but fair manner. When they get out of line the next time, use the whistle.

If it were me, I'd reflect on the game. Could you have taken care of the coach earlier?

As always, just my $.02.
