Plus I bet we don't know how many warnings he had received after the first one as well. TV doesn't show all of that as well. He could have been warned 5x's after that and we never saw or heard anything since we are all focused on the play or off ball stuff when watching.

I happened to be watching the game at the time the T was given. Unfortunately the referees have been told that if they do not enforce the rule as it is currently stated it will affect future postseason assignments.
In case it was not noticed, Coach Pearl was back on the floor not long after this, and you can see the new (T), during the inbound while Tennessee was pressing, motion the coach to get off the floor. Non of his assistants were making any attempt to get him back in the box.
The coaching staff probably came close to getting another T when they went into their expletive laced tirade. I would like to have been in the post game.
