Sounds to me like the coach wanted to be acknowledged. Could his behaviour (sorry, I'm Canadian!) and the subsequent "T" have been avoided if his original comment was acknowledged? Something like..."I had a great look at the play and the foul is the correct call". He still may think it was a "bad" call, but he needs to "respect" your decision.

First of all, don't apologize for being Canadian. No one's perfect.
Second, I did acknowledge him. I told him what I saw, even before I reported the foul. I didn't have a conversation with him, but I only do that when a coach has a legitimate question.
Last, no, I wouldn't do it differently. 7 & 8 grade girls' games are a big enough headache without listening to his crap. And if I hadn't T'd him, I'm pretty sure that he would've kept it up all night. Not going to have that, no way.
Funny thing was, before the T, he was walking around, carping at me and my partner, and his girls scored 4 points -- in about 10 minutes of the first half. After the T, he sat down, coached his girls, and they scored 15 points. Amazing!!
