The only problem I can see is a large reaction from the coach, like "He didn't do nuttin!". Not that that affects our calls or anything!

Since you are new, take the advice of us old timers. Don't ever call a T in this situation. You'll only create additional problems for yourself. The rule is old and archaic. I would expect that sooner or later, it will be removed.
You can rate this right up there with fisting the ball and multiple fouls. Leave it alone.
