Why is it robotic to not feel responsible to "calm down" a coach? Is the coach not an adult? If a coach cannot know what the results of a technical foul is, then that is not my issue. You are right, to each his own, but I am not trying to calm down an adult about something they know they did. And if they do not know, be an adult and realize that you are on thin ice. Kids can pick up on that kind of situation, so can a coach that is an adult. And chances are they knew long before the T what was coming. I have no concerns to listen to when you have crossed the line with me or your partner. We need to move on.
