bgtg19 - what a GREAT example of learning from experience! Your partner did absolutely the right thing by waiting for the 30-sec. period to expire before giving the T. If a coach deserves a T and you can give him one based on a clear cut violation of the rules, then you have removed yourself from any possible claims of bad judgement. Any administrator or assignor watching the game will have an easy time defending a violation of rules rather than engage in a "judgement" discussion.
I'm putting your end of game story in my "bag of tricks". This is exactly why this forum is valuable to the officiating community.
