Man, the more I think about this situation the more it burns me up. I hate this f'ing nonsensical concept coaches have that we are taking it personally when we don't let them address us in disrespectful or unprofessional manner.
Once a coach tried to justify his star player (now a Tar Heel) stomping towards me to complain about a call. I turned to the coach and asked "do you let him talk to you that way" and he literally stuttered 'well, no" and then he STFU towards me for the rest of the game. I started officiating late in life and had been in the military 18 1/2 years when I started wearing the stripes. Past basic training, I never let a superior go unchallenged when they addressed me in a disrespectful manner and I sure as hell never had anybody yell or scream at me. So I sure as f**k am not letting coaches, parents, and student-athletes talk to me any kind of way. It's just not happening, and my remedy is not always a technical foul; it is more often a taste of their own medicine.

It depends on what type of touch it is, so I wouldn't call touching me automatic at all. But, in this case, it sounds like a technical foul from me. He wasn't grabbing your arm while calmly talking to you, he was purposely keeping you from moving way and restarting the game.

Had To Be There ...
Had to be there.
Unlike the NBA, contact from a coach is not an automatic "anything" for me personally. A hard grab, an arm around you, or a touch on the shoulder? Invasion of personal space by any of the three adults involved? All officials have different levels of tolerance. I wouldn't have any criticism for a variety of outcomes: nothing, official warning, technical foul, or flagrant technical foul (ejection).
