I pre-game this:
If I have to give a Coach a T...I want to administer the foul shots.
I like to be doing something...other than just standing opposite like a "bump on a log".
IMO...it's more uncomfortable to be just standing there, doing nothing, while the fans are possibly berating you for T'ing up there favorite "cheerleader". I mean, not that being stoned, verbally, by the fans is that big of deal...I just like doing something more constructive than standing there after the big "whack"...it's kinda anti-climatic.
Again, administering the foul shots gives me something to do...I don't have to concentrate on the coach anymore. (That's what my partner's can do)
Now...If I have to give a player a T...I want to talk to the coach. Or, I have no problem talking to the coach. If I have given a T to a player...there is nowayinhell a coach is going to give me grief...the kid deserves it and he knows it.
If the coach needs an explanation on that...no problem.
