I disagree with this statement also.
If the technical is against the player then why wouldn't the calling official give an explanation? What if my partner calls it but I don't know why, how can I explain? I do not think the calling official going to tell the coach (but only if he asks) is going to cause a follow up technical foul, no different then any other foul you call that a coach wants an explanation about.
If the technical is against the coach, then he shouldn't need an explanation. If he TRULY doesn't know why he got it (and isn't just being an ***), then it's highly unlikely I'm going to know why. I would not communicate with a coach after my partner T's him up, I rerfuse to make my partern look like the bad guy, and me the good guy. The only communication to the coach would be me telling him he has to sit, but other than that I will be standing as far away as possible.
