These are some very good posts. I have mixed feelings about this list. I think experience is the main factor to determine the time or reason for a T.

I was having a discussion with an official at a camp about giving the coach a second T. He is of the opinion that it is voodoo for the same official to give a coach a second T at any level. He said he would go to his partner, grab (or hold, not really hard) them on the arm and tell them "look at me." It sounded very storybook/corny the way he said it. I told him that I'm of the opinion to avoid "I will never...." because a coach can attempt to make a fool out of us if we follow this "rule" and our partners do not have our back. I haven't given a coach two technicals in a game before (rec league/summer doesn't count ) but if the situation really warranted it, see ya! I'm curious to know what others would say.
