Ejection in Pictures

Foul #1 that doesn't get called
Foul #2, no call.
Referee gives me my first technical
In the huddle, firing up the troops.  I could sure go for some popcorn right about now.... 
2nd technical FT.  Notice, I am sitting
Referee walks completely across the floor to tell me to sit and stay in box
Still telling me to sit and stay in the box.
I have had enough.  I stomp my foot down which earns me a 2nd technical foul and the ejection.
I stand up to ask what I did.  Obviously, I stomped my foot, but c'mon, how many times do I have to be told to sit when I am already sitting down?
I'm calmly asking, "What did I do?"
Close your eyes or else you'll be blinded from the glare from the top of his dome.  I still look calm, in my opinion.  Nice suit!
Making the walk of shame.  Notice the jacket is coming off.
The jacket is off.  No chair to throw.  So what else can I heave onto the floor to show my frustrations...?
Midway through you see my side arm heave of the jacket.  Baldy said in his report I was trying to hit the other referee with my jacket.  I played baseball for many years and even coached it, had I wanted to hit the other referee with it, I could have.  Instead, it landed perfectly at the free throw line.
Notice the two kids sitting in chairs at the end of the bench.  Perhaps I am lucky those kids were there.  If not, there would have probably been a chair slung across the floor.  But I am gone.  The game would be forfeited, decided to play, and then not played due to the "rowdy crowd".
