Bob,
There have been coaches in our state that got suspended for their conduct that were not called in the setting of the game. I think filing the report is enough. I am not going to report a T in the setting where a coach is acting a fool. I want to get the heck out of dodge and report the incident to the state. Let the state take issue with his conduct.
Peace

But, there have also been instances where the respone to the report was "it wasn't bad enough to earn a T, so it's not bad enough to punish now." (That's anecdotal, of course).
It doesn't take any time to walk past the scorer's table, instruct them to record a T, then leave. Now, you're covered.

If I was walking past the scorer's table, I would probably call a T and ask the scorer to put it in the book as I continued off the floor. If I was down at the end of the floor towards the locker room (which is what I was assuming from the original post), I am just going to keep going and write a report afterwards.
In my area, a coach would get just as much punishment (suspension) from the official's report than if I walk back to the table and have the scorer write a T down in the book. What purpose does it serve for me to go back since the coaches punishment will be the same either way? Answer: None.
I am not going to tolerate that abuse at the end of the game and my report will be very thorough. But for me to swim upstream against the players and coaches after that outburst is just dumb, IMHO.
