got the stop sign last night

Tomegun, you'll love this...

last night, tight game, pretty well officiated overall. Head Coach has received a T earlier in the game (well deserved). Player from our team receives a T for acting like an idiot and is on his way to receiving a second because he believes opposing team's player deserves a T as well. Official tells HC to "take care of player or I will!" HC (from his seat) tells official he already has sent a sub to the table (sub had gone to table as soon as T was reported). As the FTs are about to be shot our player who has been T'd is still fuming but has moved away from benches so we can't calm him down or even threaten him to get him to knock off the idiocy.

The calling official stayed tableside for the FTs and tells the sub he needs to wait until after the FTs to enter and after he says this he warns HC again that he is ready to give our player another T if he doesn't calm down. So I said, "We appreciate the warning and we're trying to help you out and get him out of the game, so why not just let us make the sub right now?" He looks me right in the eye (from 5ft away) and gives me the dreaded stop sign .

I had to bite my lip from laughing, because it was the silliest thing I have ever seen. Just tell me that you're going to wait or that he's going to wait until the appropriate time by rule, or even tell me (or the HC) that he isn't addressing the concerns of the assistant coach, but the stop sign is perhaps the most childish thing I have ever seen.
