Horn blows a while later, it's now half time. We wait for the teams to clear as he is barking across the court. We then are escorted to our locker room by the AD. He proceeds to come into our hallway with more colorful language! I told the AD that he needs to get his emotion in check.

He was better in the second half, don't know if the AD talked with him or not. His team had a clean block on a fast break and a held ball thereafter, the other coach loses his marbles and gets a T for being very animated and some choice language (no swear words, but out of line).

As my previous posts have suggested, I am a sportsmanship stickler, almost to a fault at times.
So, the blue part describes a..."coach [who] loses his marbles and gets a T for being very animated and some choice language."

Yet you and your partner consider the red part neither "very animated" or an example of a "coach [who] loses his marbles" and spews "more colorful language" at you and your P (the halftime hallway incident) worthy of a T?

Your course of action to get this guy under control is to "[tell] the AD that he needs to get (his coach's) emotions in check"?

Your post is titled "How to correct poor coaching behavior?" You describe yourself as a "sportsmanship stickler."

Become a sportsmanship enforcer and you will quickly discover how to "correct poor coaching behavior."
