Question, at this level, what would you do? Is a second T justified? After the first, would you signal the coach to control his player? Warn the boy that he's about to get a double and ejection? Or just T him again and hope he learns a lesson.
He goes every time, Coach, every time.

The first "T" is his warning. If he wants to continue to yap, then he's throwing himself out - the official isn't. If the coach wanted to control him, then the coach should have been there immediately after the first "T" was called, or taught him not to whine in the first place.

There is absolutely no reason at all to take that nonsense at that level imo. And there's also never any reason to second-guess an official after the fact because a coach hasn't taught his players when to keep their mouth shut and how to act in a sporting fashion.
