I once T'd a Coach for putting his arm around my shoulders. To the fans it just looked like he was being a nice guy, but he wouldn't let go when I told him to take his hands off of me...so he got whacked. Of course, he was being a complete a-hole with what he was saying, so he truly deserved it.
I think your possible response of staring at his hand and telling him to let go is what I would do first. The T would come quickly if he didn't let go.
As far as the "taking it personally" comment, my standard response was always "If I come to a parent conference and start screaming at you, you wouldn't take it personally? Really?"
