I grant the red team timeout but after about 2 seconds ran off the clock. There is now 5.1 seconds on the clock. 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?
Did he slam the clipboard down? If he did that coach earns himself a T from me no matter what the game situation is. It's one thing to dispute, challenge and try to work us for calls, that is expected. But slamming a clipboard is disrespecting us. We are not second class citizens and should never tolerate that kind of childish behavior. .
