I believe that if an official manages the game well, the point about coaches getting mad that they were t'd up before being warned will not be a problem. I mean, how often will a coach go from "zero to 60" and warrant a tech before a warning, anyway?
In ten years (yes, compared to many of you I'm still a kid) I don't think I've ever t'd up a coach before some type of unofficial warning. Each time I can tell a coach he was warned before getting whacked. The official warning, like has been stated over and over, just lets everyone know of the warning so when the coach acts up again (or whatever) it's not a surprise to anyone in the gym, watching on tv, or listening on the radio.
BTW, I don't care if I'm told to report fouls with one hand or two.
