First of all - DON'T SHOUT!!!
Second of all - there's no set parameter for when you call a T. It varies from game to game, ref to ref. Of course, there are specific behaviors that always get one no matter what.
As you gain more experience, deciding when to call them will become more obvious and consistent.
The purpose of calling a T is to stop bad behavior. If you can stop it without calling one, you're just that much ahead.
Having said that, I have to admit calling them is almost as much fun as a sponge bath.
