I use a couple of criteria for Ts with a coach. There are untouchable subjects: My wife, my mother, my ancestry, cheating, or my integrity. Other automatics: swearing loud enough, belittling me to his team, charging at me, excessive demonstration or yelling at me out of the box.
As for the rest of the time, you have to use some discretion. Is the nagging to the point that you cannot concentrate? Has the coach not let go of something that went on too long ago in the game? Is the coach interfering with your work? These types of scenarios need to be dealt with. Don't necessarily have to T the guy, but you need to get it stopped. Talk to them, use the stop sign, etc. to deal with them if you can. Maybe you just need to stay away from the coach for a while. As is most of what we do out there, dealing with coaches is much more an art than a science.
Good Luck!!
