I let him get to me

Not real sure that I would have done this in this situation, but you cold always get game management to escort him to the door. On the way out you could have told him he does not belong at this level game either, and that it is to advanced for him. I have had to let fans leave early before if they were getting out of hand. Then again you can't go around tossing every fan that hollers at you either.

I am just curious what your partner said and what the evaluator said, more specifically.

Well as I entered the changing room after our game, the evaluator was doing his pre-game with his partner and only handed us our evaluations on his way out the door to work the varsity game, so I never had a chance to discuss it with him. Although he did say he's be open to talk about anything in our evals at the next meeting or whenever. I am going to email him and see what he would have thought if I had chosen to have the coach removed. I'm guessing he'll just say I need to ignore any comments from the stands and keep my poise at all times. Which I suppose is one way of looking at it. Everyone has their own threshold of tolerance. My partner also thought the coach was an extreme annoyance, but he just ignored it. Clearly I shouldn't have handled it the way I did.
