Typically, I prefer the non-calling official handle the coach post-T, but in this case, you pretty much whacked him for your partner and his questions...as stupid as they are, he knows why he got it...are directed at you, and his biggest beef is still probably with your partner.

I'd have your partner administer the FTs for the T and I'd handle the coach:

Coach: Why did I get the T?

Me: Coach, you've been very vocal about calls all game, and when something like throwing a clip board is included, that is automatic...you lost your box and you'll need to take a seat.

Then walk away.

Humm I do not know about this I go over this in my pregame but if i give a T I want one of my partners going over to inform the coach that he has the seatbelt. Am I wrong in this, no official has said they did not like that in a pregame. I just think that things are heated already why put fuel in the fire when I could just use a little preventive officiating. If he goes off on partner also then he deserves to be tossed and if he does get tossed he can't use the whole I am the one who had a problem with him, both me and partner did. Would anyone object to how I handle my T situation.
