What is the point of the T? I submit that it's really not to punish the offender, so much as it's to remedy the situation. If a coach goes off at me and I T him, and he takes another 10 seconds to vent, even vigorously, and then settles down, haven't I acheived my goal? I wouldn't say never give quick back-to-back Ts, but could the desired end be acheived without it?

And where is your creditability as an official end? If you let the coach you just T'd up continue on his rampage, where do you draw the line with the other coach?
Hmmmm, Coach etc got away with it, let me try saying this...
Coaches coach, players play, officials do the rest.
IMO of course!
