Thrown into the fire...

Perhaps I had to be there, but it seems to me you took about two ultimatums too long to whack this guy. He's out of his box at midcourt, distracting you, complaining about no-calls, telling you where you need to be, and talking back. The only thing that changes the behavior of coaches like this is the T. The quicker you get there, the quicker the game gets better.

Exactly my thought. I realize that you probably didn't want to jump right in and be the one to whack the guy, but he desparately needed it.

Bad situation all around. Sounds like it ended about as well as you could hope.

That was ultimatley what I was feeling...I just came into the game and here I am the "bad guy". It was almost as if I was sent just for the purpose of pulling the T out on the guy...I certainly didn't wan't it to go that way but that's what happened and it was certainly needed.
