I mind that you presume to take the high road by saying your opinion is supported by the rules, when it clearly is not.

I'm not trying to take the high road, and I hope that you know after camping together that I'd work any game with you in a heartbeat. I'm not trying to disparage your opinion.

Here's my problem, and I guess I haven't been saying it quite right. The rule you quote above says that an unsporting foul includes but is not limited to such acts as: blah, blah, blah.

In the situation that we're discussing, there is literally no "act". The person is simply standing and looking at you. In my mind, you need to do something to get a T. Say something, gesture, throw something, stand where you're not supposed to. In the case of a coach staring, he's not doing anything. And in my mind, therefore, no T is warranted. This is why I've been saying that you can't T somebody for doing nothing. You have to do something to get an unsporting T.
