Sleeper,
My advice is NEVER offer a rule book to the coach. Never mind that it would be considered by many as baiting the coach, what would you do if he accepted the offer? Stop the game an go retrieve it from your bag?
What was suggested to me at camp, and I always cover this in pregame, if one calls a T on the coach the/a partner goes to the coach and reminds him that he has lost the use of the coaching box. That puts a different face in front of the coach and allows someone to calm him down (if needed).
I will say I probably would have given the T the first time he ignored my request that he get off the floor.
