One of the guidelines about ejections goes something to the effect that if the coach says that your call was horsebleep he is not automatically gone. When he says "You're horsebleep" it is his time to exit stage left. That means he goes where he can't be heard from, not the stands but quite a distance away such as the parking lot.

You don't mention what gave rise to the coach's angst. Coaches may have legitimate beefs but again that does not give them the right to get in your face and personal. Jim/NYC
