When I first came to Nevada I did. But now that the coaches know that I don't tolerate that stuff, and I have convinced a number of my colleagues to be the same way, the behavior has improved so much at most of my games that I rarely have to give Ts now.
I actually have two so far this season. One on a coach from CA and the other on a player from CO.
I am convinced that if officials would stop warning for everything, quit letting stuff slide, and just penalize the poor behavior, it would stop. Well, maybe not stop, but certainly it would be drastically reduced.
They will continue to do what you allow. What kind of environment would you like to officiate in? You do have some control over that.
