I think the whole situation could have been avoided if there wasn't a "stop" sign. They went to line up and shoot free throws before he knew he got it. All of this happened 2 minutes left in the first quarter. Guess it was a sign, game turned out to be a pretty fun battle.

Using the stop sign is not a bad thing if done properly.
Had he told the coach, "I've heard enough," and then went about his business, the ball would then have been in the coach's court. He then makes the decision whether he gets a T or not.
The mistakes were being arrogant, if he truly was, and warning the coach three times.
Fans and coaches are customers? Sorry but that's bull$hit. Officials are there to administer the game, not to bend over to the whims and desires of fans and coaches.
