So what's the difference between "appropriate" and "accepted"? Seriously, what's the substantive difference.

There are places where calling the T in the OP will relegate you to JH games the rest of your career. That tells you that the coach's behavior is accepted and appropriate, and that the T would be inappropriate. I'm willing to accept there are high schools where this behavior wouldn't be appropriate; but I'm not willing, as a ref, to go out on a limb and make this call.
