Knowing how much to take is an art, not a science. That's something you'll figure out along the way. I see some refs give a "T" as soon as that starts. To me, that's a little fast because all coaches need a little latitude. Some refs let the coaches whine all night if it isn't done directly at the refs. To me, that's too much and just leads to the players whining and even more from the ignorant fans. If a coach is whining on a lot of calls, I'll try to say something funny to calm his howler butt. If that doesn't work I'll give him the stop sign and say, "that's enough coach." If that fails, now he's getting one of my rare T's. One thing that seems to work for me most of the time is to ask myself, "is a technical foul here going to make the game better or worse."
