Would you have chosen this option?

That's what I would have done...there will be a ton of others on here that will disagree but hey, not all of us have "great minds"

Likely whacking for that reaction.

Just throwing the hands up would get a warning if that's his first issue all game. Leaving the bench gets him a T.

Forgot to mention...these were 1A schools in Texas. That classification was just changed so that football and all the other sports would be in an actual class. Previously it was called something else (can't remember) because they play 6-man football. Both schools probably have a combined attendance of under 400 students. There were probably 25-30 people at the game. The boys game was cancelled because they are still playing football and only one boy on the basketball team does not play football.

May not make a difference to anyone but wanted to give the setting.

Under the circumstances: Good job!
Someone once said: "We are not allowed to pour gasoline" and it didn't involve anyone's safety!

It doesn't sound like he was trying to show you guys up or anything like that, and his reply to your warning suggests it was an honest mistake. Even if he was upset with the call, his response wasn't egregious in my opinion. I sometimes think limited space for basketball coaches leads to issues that you don't see in football, baseball or soccer because those coaches can roam the sideline and essentially get away from the situation much easier than basketball coaches. If he was indeed upset with the call, it sounds to me like that is all he was trying to do: move away from the situation to allow himself the opportunity to cool down.

To me, if he has this reaction, without saying anything, I'm probably letting it go.

If he compounds the action with some exclamation about how terrible the call was, I'm probably going straight to T.
