Keep in mind, there is a difference between communication and letting a coach get away with anything.
Donnee Gray is a wise man.

Contrary to what some officials seem to believe, in the vast majority of cases when a technical foul gets called, it isn't the official's fault. You're not a failure as an official if you do have to call one. It's simply a reaction to an unsporting act, a technical violation of some sort or a player just doing something stupid- like hanging on the rim. It's also just another call.
