Girls 8th Grade, Top division in a very competitive league.

First half, during the first 4-5 min coach has had a comment on just about every call. He requests a time out, and as I go to the table he approaches me on the floor and again questions calls. I tell him that I don't mind questions at an appropriate time, but that he cannot continue to question every ruling that I or my partner make. He turns and in front of his team says loudly, "you guys need to call it both ways" and he gives me the dismissive hand wave.

I thought at that point he had earned the T I assessed. Should I have walked away?

After the game he approached both officials, shook our hands, and asked me why I assessed the T? (in this league there is usually no room for officials so we are generally in the gym and on the floor after/between games)

He obviously didn't think his comment deserved a technical and even mentioned that he's directed that comment to other officials with no response from them.
