He does a slight stare down on me, flips his clipboard back on one of the chairs and says "Jesus" very sarcastically. I know that isn't considered swearing in this day and age but I still consider that inappropriate. I wanted to give a T for the stare and the clipboard flip but I just reported the timeout because I didn't want a T to decide the game. Did I do the right thing?

Learning experience for you -- did you look immediately at the coach when the 3 went through the hoop? No? Why not?
Situation awareness is important.
If I were that coach, I'd be frustrated, too, BTW.
