I agree with this. Now if someone who is into numbers and human interaction can come up with the percentages, we can determine how often the stop sign should be used versus talking to a coach.
I agree that film can make an official look bad when giving a technical foul. For this reason, I often suggest keeping a distance from a coach who is exhibiting behavior that could earn a T. If I'm close to a coach, they will more than likely not get a T. When they are doing something to earn a T, I would like to think it is obvious to everyone in the facility.
