This is a bit unprofessional on your part. Give the coach a stop sign and simply say, "Coach, that's enough." All you did was inflame the situation by popping off about his attitude.

Wanred him one more time.

Why? You've warned him once, why warn him again?

A T woulda made my game a hell so I warned him again at half time.

Why do you continue to warn him? You're like the boy who cried wolf. Listen to him, ignore him when it's apparent that he's just ranting, warn him when you can't take anymore, and whack him the next time. If you keep warning him, he'll continue to ignore you. Make sense?

Coming out of half time Horn blows (still in huddle). I walk to the far side to puit the ball in (Horn blows again?) I call for Green as it is there ball. "PURPLE! Lets break the huddle" Coach looked up. I blew my whistle again. Said PURPLE BREAK THE HUDDLE! _ waited 3 seconds. Blew my whistle again. Waited 3 seconds. Blew my whistle and handed to green for the throw-in.

Wrong pardner. The resuming play procedure is to be used after timeouts and between quarters, NOT AT THE BEGINNING OF A HALF. If he delays for a full minute through not being ready when it is time to start either half, it's a technical foul. That means he gets one full minute to have his team on the floor after the horn sounds ending halftime. (9-5-1a)

Coach went ballistic. Finally called a time out and as i was reporting said he wanted to talk to me. "Ok coach but if you stop talking I'm walking away" So he starts actually talkking instead of screaming .. i said. "Well you had a 15 second warning horn. an end of halftime horn. A Whistle... A whistle... a whistle..." Not my fault you didnt get ur playes on the court.I let you know the quater begin, we dont have to wait on you to finsih ur huddle."
he looked at me took a deep breath and acted like he wanted to yell
"Now coach, I did everything I could but physically walk over there and pull your players on the court to play basketball."

As I said, he was right and you were wrong. Work on being more professional in these cases. Let him be the one that shows everyone how immature he is and then, don't stoop to his level. Hopefully, it will come with experience. Good luck to ya!
