This is just as bad. Are you insinuating that giving a T is a sign that you don't have good game management skills?

There is an "and" in that quote from cmckenna, and it probably should be italicized. If you have no game management skills, you will hand out some unnecessary Ts. If you have good game management skills, you may still be forced to T if coaches cross the line despite your best efforts. It is the presence of good game management skills coupled with no serious situations arising that result in zero Ts. I can't see taking offense at that concept.
Lots of Ts, you probably have some game management issues. 1 or 2 are hardly different than zero in my book, just that in some cases, all the game management skills in the world won't keep a coach from crossing a line. But if you are doing a good job and not too quick on the trigger, the number of Ts will probably be pretty small.
