Actually guys, I don't think the first T should have been given. I think the official (and he is a veteran), should have basically ignored the coach as the coach was leaving the bench area and following his team. O.K., the coach should not have said anything, but it wasn't that bad (at least to me). I think it could have been handled much easier and the coach would have been there for the 2nd half. The "f'ing b/s" comment was anger at being assessed what he thought was an unwarranted T. The coach could/should have handled that better. I have given the 2nd of 2 before, but I have never given 3 and I hope like h*ll I never do. As I said, just an ugly situation all around and did not do anything to make the 2nd half much fun for the team or I suspect, for the officials.
