Here it would be considered gross unsportsmanlike conduct - flagrant T/immediate ejection of the visiting coach, report to the state and very likely the end of his HS coaching career.

This was over 30 years ago and I think things were a little bit more lax back then. Today, the coach would be gone, for possibly a career and the scorer would press charges.
