"Coach, in the future, please don't touch me again." It's an emotionally charged situation, and while it doesn't condone the coach contacting you, it has to be viewed in context. If you want to give the T, I have no problem with it. But, in the long run, you can build a better relationship with that coach while getting your point across at the same time.

I know others will disagree, but that is my opinion. I have been in this exact situation before, and this is how I handled it, and it worked out quite well. Never had an incident again, and the coach has never done it again either (to anyone).

I generally agree. Regardless of the situation, "yelling" or "barking" at a coach rarely is going to make the situation better. I think a T is in order, to let her know it's serious, but it should continue to be handled in a professional way, and somehow bringing the level of emotion down would be preferable.

Maybe later, if I have to go to the restroom, I can drop something to rival that.

HTBT, but I lean towards a T.
How I call/ no call is not going to be based on "building a relationship" with a coach. This shouldnt be a factor at all...

A T helps build the relationship that is appropriate, IMO. If she calms down, she gets to stay and coach from her backside.

A T is her warning for future games.
