Because he's not doing anything illegal. He's looking at you. What are you gonna write on the report? "He was looking at me in a very mean way"? "He was creeping me out"? Boo-hoo. Poor baby.

He is entitled to stand and look at you if he wants to. It's his TO.

In the Temple game, the coach was Don Chaney, a major league dexterhole, who once said he'd kill John Calipari. I believe that he was NOT T'd up for the stare-down incident. I could be wrong, but I saw it on TV, and I'm pretty sure that there was no T. Perhaps there was another incident that resulted in a T, I'm not sure.

Finally, the comment about blowing a kiss was intended to be a joke. That would obviously be unprofessional and inappropriate. I was trying to be funny. I have however, flashed the big grin to fans.
A "T" is in the eye of the beholder. I would probably beholder with Dan on this one. If a coach is trying to make me look like a dexterhole, imo, then a T is his just reward. And I are a just official!

It was Don Chaney and it was probably closer to 15 years ago. You're right- he didn't get a T for that, but he got one later on in the same game. And threatening to kill Calipari definitely does NOT make him a bad person. Chaney would have to stand in line for that one. Calipari is a jerk.
