Did a game tonight where the coach approached me just before we're about to resume after halftime.

Background: I had three block-charge calls in a row in the first half, where his players stepped in late on the opponents' drives to the hoop. All right in front of me, none of them borderline - all clearcut blocks. After the second one, he asked me "what do we have to do to get a charge?" and I replied calmly "they have to be there first" You can guess how satisfied he was with that.

So anyway, he says to me and my partner at halftime, in a fairly assertive voice, that he thinks that I was making a conscious effort to not give him that call. I paused, and then asked him "are you questioning my integrity?" - he gives me a "well...", and I continue "because I need to know what to write on the game report about why I T'd you". He backed off and went to his bench.

T or not?
