Numbers of T's vs games worked doesn't matter.
Your vets probably don't remember what it's like at the lower levels, varsity coaches don't behave on a whole the way the lower level coaches do...you aren't that experienced and neither are they.
You unlike the coach is required to deal with unsporting behavior.
If the T's you are giving are all reacting to behavior than don't sweat it...now if you are initiating communications, giving ultimatums, that sort of things that can be an issue.
My guess is with vets mentoring as you described, you may be dealing with the back lash of nobody else taking care of business and coaches running amuck.
There have been very few T's I've given out where I questioned myself for giving them. The times I've lost sleep over not giving one is far more common.
My rule of thumb is this:
Did it make the game better?
I tossed a youth coach last Saturday. His team went on an 8-2 run right after and ended up winning a 1 point game, with no problems the rest of the way.
