hey bard, how many years have you been officiating?
(and not given out a T)
If you gave a technical, it is usually ovbious why it was given. If a player recieved it and a coach asks why, tell him, but quietly, and when play is stopped.
I wouldn't explain the T to the table. all the info they need to know is that there was a technical foul, the offending team's color, if it was a player, the player's number, and then you shoot. don't creat controversy by explaining it, if asked by a coach, then explain it.
I feel it is just as when we call a foul, we say the color, number, foul, status of the ball, but we don't verbalize that the foul was a holding foul, we just do the mechanic.
