Specifically how to deal with a coach that yaps-no offensive language, and not too loud, just consantlly annoying. One warning and then the T or give them some slack if they shut up for awhile after the warning.

I think you have to find what works in your area, what works with other officials you have to work with and what standards might be set. Technical fouls are judgment much of the time. They are not things that are always cut and dry. Of course some are, but the use of language can vary from one place to another. When the level changes, a lot of what is offensive can change. You need to figure out where you line is, then not let it be crossed too often. If you can change the behavior with out calling a T, you have won. But sometimes you do what you have to do.
You are only going to learn this from experience and time. There is not much we can do to say, "this is automatic" when that might not be something you cannot handle without resorting to a T.
Peace
