Absolutely. I would have stood between you two and said something like, "Coach, you have no business here. Move along."

Absolutely not. Happened to me earlier in my career too, and the V Officials stepped right in and escorted the coach out.

Certainly. His behavior is unwarranted and you, your assingor, and the league should go on record as not willing to tolerate this behavior.
Most importantly, don't let this get you down. After my incident, very early in my career, I seriously asked myself, do I want to do this? Do I have what it takes? For me, the answer was YES! I hope it is for you too!
And now, probably 700 games later, I am more mature and experienced, and, if I run into a coach like that again, I know just how to handle him - and I would protect my P too!
Keep at it and good luck!
