Back when I did coach, I got three T's in one season. First one, opposing player was in-bounds, and bounced the ball once out of bounds, and the official missed it. I made a remark to him when he was in front of me that the ball was three feet OOB and actually bounced off of one of the bench players; he T'd me up. As I reflect on that, I earned it because my tone may have been scarcastic when I said it.

The second and third T's should have been just one, but I blew my stack big time, yelled "this is bull****!" and kicked a chair all at once. Both officials blew their whistle and signaled T and decided that since they both had a T on me, I collected two T's and an ejection. I disagreed with them, but made a exhibitionist exit (ala Bobby Knight) and got my boys fired up. This whole thing ended up leading to me being suspended from our next game. As I look back on it, I was young and stupid, and definitely deserved a T on that.
