Like any other potentially conflictual situation, it is always best to be mentally prepared for what you may face, regardless of whether or not you end up facing it. I think that avoids what otherwise may be a predicatbly bad situation. I think it is more likely things will go badly if you do not have yourself in the right frame of mind to handle this coach.

So you want to think through what will happen if he starts going off on you. How can you communicate in such a way that you may be able to get him under control early on, before things escalate. That actually may allow you to ref the game without hearing a lot of BS and without having to resort to a T. And think through how much you are willing to take before you WHACK this guy, so that you have more control if and when you do resort to it.
