Something like the "OK, OK" I would let go, but the parting shot on the call loud enough for others to hear has to be addressed...dump him.... |
I'm pretty close to this ^^^
Once I've said "enough", the most they get after that is a stop sign, if appropriate and minimal. Continuing past there means one or more of:
a) Coach wants to get ejected,
b) Coach expects to get ejected,
c) Coach disrespects you,
d) Coach believes you won't pull the trigger, and/or
e) Coach is unable to stop, and doesn't belong there anymore.
As opposed to the baseball reference above, I don't see this as a situation which requires an "official warning"; I think that is an overused crutch. When challenging judgment or balls and strikes, the manual and rules have you use an official warning; unsporting acts, disrespect, and general behavior issues that cross well over the line shouldn't fall into the "official warning".
