I frequently see players mad at themselves or the situation slam a ball or pound a fist, never see Ts for this. so I fail to see the automatic, got to know why it happened. I am a believer that you don't look for somehting that isn't there. You may say somehting the first time it happens, like "If you slam the ball like that, I may think you're objecting my call, which would mean I have to give you a T. I don't think you really want that." Got a lot of emotions on the court. Call what you need to - the quick T where you choose to interpret what is going on without warning, doesn't seem to meet that criteria.

As for your sitch on the coach on the floor, it sounds like you knew what it was. Not sure how, but I wasnt there. If it was clear, give the T - no prob. But this sitch given by Bigref doesn't sound like you have knowledge - no knowledge, close game, time almost gone, should be wan first then T. Obviously many disagree. Oh well.
