Slamming the ball to the ground is an act of unsportsmanship IMHO and the offending player should be stuck with a T. Put the 1 second back on the clock and let his own team deal with the fact that he probably cost them the game. Slamming the ball shows disrespect to the officials and in general shows that the player is totally out of control. I have never witnessed a coach questioning a T in that situation.
