I think the worst thing an official can do to other officials is not give the T when warranted. The T in the OP was an obvious one. You have to call it. The fact that a player is hurt doesn't matter, this stuff about a coach clinging to a job should not enter our mind (I don't know where that came in). If a coach deserves it, give it. The coach is called out to attend to the player, not to complain to the officials. When officials don't sack up and take care of business it sends the message to that coach or player that their behavior is acceptable. My one regret this season is that I let a coach stick around in a game when I should have given his second and tossed him. I regret it because rather than have to sit out and not be a jerk to the next crew in, he got to coach.
