A very wise senior official in my association gave me very good advice about what to do when calling a T on a coach. He recommended that the calling official sound the whistle, make the T sign and then move towards the center circle before reporting the foul to the table. This brings the official away from the bench where the coach is sitting or standing. Now if the coach has choice words for the official he either has to shout it (for everyone in the gym to hear) or come out onto the court (a place that everyone knows the coach is forbidden from going).
I call very few Ts in a season, but when I do that is the "mechanic" I use. It seems to work.
