A coach throwing his coat (or clipboard, or a student, or anything for that manner) in disgust over a call or non-call is a T if I witness it 100% of the time.
There are occasions where a coach may throw a jacket or the clipboard because of frustration towards the players. In these cases I don't T but I do let him know if he does that again I will. |

In an NCAA football game my threshold may be a bit different, but I know for a fact I'd address that with any coach I've worked for. The jacket throw would be an automatic for me in a basketball game whether I missed a call or not. I can't control missing a call once in a while, but he can always control his reaction. |

You're in South Carolina, right? Coach will sit at least one game, possibly two since he didn't leave the court in a timely manner. And despite what football philosophies may be, 99.9% of basketball officials would've canned this coach. You're asking for trouble by not doing so. |

And yes, the partner should have rung him up with the comment made to him. One of the partners should have rung him up for stomping, but since they didn't, the OP was right in doing so. |
I checked with local basketball official and he said jacket on court = T and jacket on bench = no T. "You're crazy" would be ignored...don't have rabbit ears.
Nothing wrong with how you handle it in your area. Just sharing how one local official would handle it here. |

There are local officials everywhere who are afraid of coaches and won't make this call. They're wrong, IMO. |
How is you're crazy not personal and not unsporting?
Speaking of crazy that is plain nuts... |

And you and your local official don't know what "rabbit ears" means. No pun intended, but you're crazy if you think that penalizing a coach for screaming at you is having "rabbit ears." |

Based on my experience in football, we worry more about things that question our integrity. To me, "You're crazy" is just another way of saying he disagrees with my judgement. That will happen on a block/charge where he is biased and the official understands the rule. If he says "learn the rule" or "you're screwing us" then he's cruising the line to integrity. There is still a little difference in football because nobody in the stands is likely aware he said anything, but basketball is more visible. I definitely understand that.
