Forgot to tell you this part...

Visiting Coach says, "You're going to let him say that? How is that not a T?"
All unsporting technical foul calls are objective. If you felt that the comments were unsporting, then take care of bidness. If you didn't think they were, then just let the remarks go. Any doubts at all, never make a call of any kind.

I wouldn't call those particular comments particulary unsporting myself. At the most, I'd say that they maybe warranted an "enough". Or a smile(not recommended). However, that's my opinion only. If another official thought they were unsporting and threw out a "T", then I ain't gonna second-guess 'em. My point was that it's up to you to decide whether a "T" is warranted or deserved in these types of situations. Experience usually helps a little also. Just do what you think is right and don't worry about it.
