Oh yeah? There was this one time it happened just like that but I didn't give the T because it was a close game, it was that team's star player and he already had four fouls and I didn't want to cost him a D1 scholarship.
OK, I made that up, but we all know there are some coaches, and a ton of parents, who think those are valid reasons not to give the T.
BTW - if there was an "automatic T", it would absolutely be for a player or coach getting in the official's face and yelling "F you!" (without the abbreviation) If there's anyone out there who can think of a legitimate circumstance in which you wouldn't call that, I'd sure like to hear it.
