Usually I give coaches a chance to change course, but if he doesn't, then so be it and get a T like any other time.

Again, I'm not saying the coach gets a free pass. I just felt that in this situation, given what had just happened, it was an awfully quick trigger. You could tell the coach was upset, but he didn't seem to be yelling, or belligerent. I just think that given the situation, if the official that called the T had any idea of what had just happened, the coach deserved a little leeway.
Heck, since I wasn't there to hear exactly what was said, it's hard to say that I wouldn't have given him a T as well.
