Given the reason for starting this thread, I would guess the OP has had other situations where someone earned a T and it wasn't given. So what happens when another official does the right thing and gives a T? What happens when another official doesn't give a T? Where was the rest of the crew or other official? Did this only happen when the OP was near the coach or did it happen all game but his partner(s) didn't do anything?

Honestly I can't remember the last time I had a situation with a coach who really didn't know what he was allowed to do like this one did. First of all I haven't worked a ton of 2-person ball in a while, but it does make it much more difficult because there are not as many situations where an official is in a position to tallk to a coach or warn a coach without stopping the game. I have never had this issue in a varsity game...honestly I have been on a really good run with varsity coaches the last couple of years in terms of behavior, it has probably been 3 yrs since I banged a coach in a varsity game..
