Go down the floor come back - player goes up for the shot and he stands up and in a raised voice says to the back of my head, I want an AND 1 ON THAT!" So I t'd him. Now - Had I realized he was down by 40 points with only 2 mintues left in the game I probably would have given him one more stern hard warning and been done with it.
Georgia Techs coach got my attention as I was walking off the floor and said, "You look like a smart guy and a damn good referee, I was shocked to see you drop that technical on that coach." I told him "thats what happens when u cant see what the situation is and you have to take care of business some how."

OK, I'm a little lost here. Coach was down by 24 and then two trips later he's down by 40. ???
Also, how could you not know time and score? You may not have know it was exactly 40 points with 2 minutes left, but you had to know that they were
WAY behind with very little time remaining.
If the coach was complaining all game, you should have taken care of it earlier. If he just started his whining with two minutes left, either ignore it and get done or stop play and go talk to him (I have no problem with stopping play in a blow-out game to go have a quick chat with a whiny coach - it would be worth a try before giving the late T).
