In this situation at that time, an ejection probably would have been an overreaction. But that was 15 years ago. Today, I'd probably eject solely on nerve. I'm not exactly small (6 foot 240) and somewhat mean looking (crew cut with what's left up there!). I think the kid was a clown and thought it would be funny, rather than having a malicious "screw-you" attitude. I seriously doubt he played hoops after that year.
With that said, I'd never fault an official for tossing someone who did that. I think ejections like these, though, are case by case and depend heavily on how one senses what happened.

Point taken. I think I had that coach tonight in a YMCA game.
