I didn't want to give him the satisfaction.
Will someone explain to me why officials feel this way? IMO, I wouldn't have T'd this guy for what he did, but I have heard lots of officials say that they didn't want to give the coach the satisfaction of getting a T. I have never understood the line of thinking that they use. IMO, if a coach want a T, give it to him.
A coach's team is getting blown out and he wants to get tossed. Many officials think if we have to watch the rest of this mess so do they.

I can see their point.

Not a blow out, but a team is overmatched and out coached so some coaches will use a T to deflect his and his team's short comings.

Again I can see the point. I told a coach in this situation once, "Coach we have nothing to do with that score, so don't go there looking for an excuse."
