That's the penalty after a T, not sure what it has to do with jerry's statement.

The suggestion is that an assistant coach gets a T for crossing over to the other side of the court to talk to the official.
If the teams/coaches had been good that night, I'm not sure I'd want to end the game that way (despite the fact that it was *their* actions, not mine, that caused it to end that way...). If another official called a T, I would certainly respect her/his judgment. I think I'd be inclined -- again, assuming that this was all otherwise "innocent" stuff -- to tell the assistant: "Coach, you can't be over here. Even during a dead ball/timeout, a coach leaving the bench area can be assessed a technical foul." Again, assuming that it was an innocent mistake, it will never happen again.
