[Sleeper]

I had one of these last week. I had a coach in a JV boys game that I have had problems with before, but had never had to T. I had been able to manage him previously. Two minutes into the game, there is a rugby scrum under the basket jumping for a rebound. He wants over the back, and comes storming out onto the court when he doesn't get it. I tell him twice to get off the floor, and he doesn't listen. So I say, "Coach, I need you off the floor please." He takes two steps back and says,"That was still a BS call. I'm off the floor, what are you going to do about it now?" That earned him his first T. I then tell him he has to sit, he says he is in his coaching box. I tell him he has lost the priviledge to stand and gets to sit for the rest of the game, and I offer him a rule book to check the reference he swears is not there. After that, he settled down and coached. Asked for a couple of clarifications and questioned a couple of calls, but way below the danger point.

I feel your pain.
