I don't get this thought process. He only needs to be accountable for what people other than the officials can hear? Seems to me the lesson here is that not holding him accountable was the mistake, regardless of how loudly he said it.

Agreed. That player needed to keep their mouth shut and play, especially in a rec league. As for the coach, if you rang him up once and he kept going it's time for him to go. If he doesn't have someone else on the bench to coach the kids and he forfeits, that's his problem. As 26YG said, let him complain to your assignor.

At any rate, we've all had those days but I agree with the rest of the posts: give up the church/rec league stuff. It'll only aggravate you. For now, use this situation as a learning/growing experience.
