I read threads here that seem to imply giving coaches a T oftentimes settles them down and redirects their focus back to the game.
I read threads on coaching bulletin boards that seem to imply getting T'd oftentimes fires up the players and gets the officials to focus a bit more on areas they were complaining about.
Both arguments imply an adjustment in attitude and a possible shift in momentum.
Personally, as a coach, I've always thought getting a T intentionally was stupid (two free throws to opponent and loss of a possession), so please be kind to me...
Any thoughts on this divergence of veiwpoints? Any validity to the opposite argument?
