How about more direct and to the point: "Coach, you have 30 seconds to leave the gym. If you don't, your team forfeits the game."

The coach said it to my partner a little later, coming out of a time out. I think he doesn't want a confrontation as he is well known in this town and at this school. I do wish he would have given the second T, however I personally don't really blame him for not.

I thought he said it to you the second time.

I hope your partner has a license to drive that bus.

Huntin" Ref,

Sounds like the good ole days when I worked in Indiana. AD's hired the officials for all sports and coaches rate officials for the post season. They believed they have all the power.

In your case, When he said "I got your name, you won't be working here anymore!", I would have made the end of my last game at that school much more enjoyable. He tried to exert influence over you by "holding a contract over your head." Good enough for me to send him packing.
