1) Stop the clock if you're going to call a technical foul. If not, wait until the next opportunity to smarten the coach up, be it a whistle or when you're by his bench next.
2) Sigh. Every time you blow your whistle, you interrupt game flow. Does that mean that we're all supposed to stop blowing our whistles? This "game interrupter" nonsense just means "If I blow my whistle, it's OK. If you blow your whistle, it may or may not be OK- depending on how I personally feel about your call". That's my take on it anyway. Just more gobbledegook! Some officials call a tight game; some officials call a loose game. If you're consistent, the players will adjust.
