Some of the previous posts regarding technical fouls got me thinking about when, exactly, the whistle should be blown to call a T.

For example, Team A has a 2 on 1 breakaway and the coach of Team B says something unsporting in the process. Should the official wait for the play to end and then call the T? Or immediately blow the whistle?

Your situation is covered exactly under case book play 10.4.1SitE.

RULING: "The official shall withhold blowing the whistle until A1 has either made or missed the shot. The official shall then sound his whistle and assess the Team B head coach with a technical foul.......If A's coach was the offender, the whistle should be sounded immediately when the unsporting foul occurs".
