I started teaching myself this about technicals for a coach.

If I made a crappy call he'll get more leeway than usual. I will after a while ask him to calm down.
Now if I made a good call and everyone and thier momma knew it was the right call; Then yeah. He's got a bout 20 seconds to hold some dignity before I get him for it. I'm not going to give a technical for something I screwed up on. If he's upset at a bad call I made he's got a right to because they're paying for good offiicals and if we dont give them that they should be miffed. This comes back to a freshman game I called in the first few weeks of the season.

Made freethrow - lots of confusion going under the post - I even get confused wrong team (B) steps OOB with the ball. OH WAIT_ WRONG TEAM! TWEET! I Give the ball to the right team and A Coach goes BONKERS! THATS A TECHNICAL FOUL! I said It was my mistake no-time ticked off. He wouldnt not calm down. I warned him fair and square. Finally between quaters my partner and I are discussing another play that happend. Coach starts coming out to center court YELLING! My partner said - Coach please return to the sideline, We will not dicuss anything with you out here. He kept walking and hollering so I whacked him. I reported it. Partner told him he was seatbelted, he shrugged his shoulders and said fair enough.
