Nevada, your point #1 is dealt with by the fact that the player is sitting down for the rest of the game following the 2nd T. If he hadn't popped off early in the game, he'd still be playing at the end. So, he's already got an extra punishment.
Your first point is one of opinion, and I'm not prepared to argue either way. Personally, I think there is a line between game behavior that results in Ts (slapping the ball while still OOB on a throw-in or even stepping OOB on purpose to avoid a screen) and unsportsmanlike behavior (like popping off to a ref and some dead ball contact). Isn't a player entering unbeckoned a player T as well? Personally, I like that my state will differentiate here. But, it's not my call, so I'll go with whatever they decide.
