The discussion here is about psychology. The theory here is that if the coach complains enough, whether he picks up the T or not, the officials will subconsciously give him some calls to pacify him and shut him up. Conversely, if after his antics the coach continues to see calls that he perceives as negative to his cause or even worse than before, the theory then is that the coaches actions annoyed the officials to the point that they subconsciously (or consciously) called against his team. Do these theories have merit? Perhaps they do sometimes. But no two officials and no two games (or portions of a game) are alike. So, coach, just when you think you have figured out the right angle it is always subject to blow up in your face. Try rubbing your lucky rabbits foot when things go bad. If this doesn't work you don't have to tell anybody and you don't risk being ejected.
