Fair enough. My thinking is, first of all, he's a player. Players don't get to pull the ballerina act and show me up all the way up and down the court.
Second, even if he's on the bench acting as the coach, I'm not letting a scholastic coach act like you describe either. The foot stomp may have gotten a T from me, but when he continued to bark at the calling official, he earned himself the T (and if you're using high school rules, I'd enforce the seatbelt on Mr. Playercoach).
