(but I would mention that the least you could do is consider my entire post...including the reponse to Jimgolf in which I said I don't have a problem with discretion and advantage/disadvantage).
I don't presume to tell you what your job is other than to enforce the rules.
In this case were are talking about a blatant technical foul. Not intentional, not flagrant, but blatant, nonetheless.
If I were officiating, I would call the technical.
I wouldn't like it (as apparently both coaches had been respectful throughout the game), but I would think that I would have to do it.

Well, my tiny little brain is obviously no match for your lines of reasoning. First you tell me you're OK with discretion and advantage/disadvantage, in the next breath you tell me my job on the court is to enforce the rules, then you tell me the situation we are discussing is a blatant technical foul. I'll admit I'm not the strongest rules guy out there so I went to my rule books and I gotta admit I could not find "blatant technical foul" in there at all. Got a reference?
Anyways, since you're permitting SOME latitude in how I *enforce* the rules, maybe you'll be kind enough to tell me which rules I need to fully enforce & which rules I can fudge on?
As for what you would do if you were an official, I can live with that. Maybe I would T him too. While we're at it let me tell you what I would do if I were the King of Norway. I would make it illegal to fish for sardines on Sunday. In case you were wondering.
