Perhaps a dumb question, but if you do not give a T sign or blow the whistle during a dead ball T, then how do you keep your partners informed on what's going on? I understand your point and I agree with it; however, I have had a few times this season where a partner calls a T (justified) but I am too far away to hear the actual call so until we start to move to a free throw line I just stand there because I really don't know wht he called.

If you call a T should you announce loudly why so your partners know or should you get together with them in a quick conference to inofrm them (assuming there's no fight going on)? Is this part of a good pre-game?

Pregame, pregame, pregame. Whenever an intentional (personal or technical), flagrant (personal or technical) or any technical foul is assesed, the calling official and his partner(s) need to meet at center court for a short (10 sec or less) informational meeting.
