First tossed coach of the season!

[BryanV21]

First of all, I agree with Johnny D that the HC should have been T'd up right away.

It's like allowing teams to get away with a lot of rough play early, and then trying to get them to settle down later in the game. It sounds like this HC thought he could get away with all that chirping, and was taken aback when he was told to calm down. Why not tell him earlier that he needs to dial it back?

I'm not blaming you or your partners for what you/they did or didn't do, I'm just saying things could have possibly been avoided by nipping them in the bud earlier.

As for another official stepping in, we are taught to do that. I know that if I was having a problem with a coach and had to whack him, I'd rather have a partner try and talk to him about it, because chances are that coach doesn't want to hear it from me.
