According to Patsos, instead of calling the technical on the bench, referee John Gaffney told those at the scoring table, "That's a Grade A technical foul on Jimmy Patsos."

Notice this is a quote from Patsos as to what the official said, not what the table or the official said the official actually said. I can't believe either that the official said "Grade A" or mentioned the coach by name. The story also implies the coach thinks technicals should be called only on the "bench" and that a prior warning is a requirement. Nuff said.
