On the other hand, do you warn a coach before wacking for starting the loud "one-two-three" count? To me, it's in the same category as a loud f-bomb

Screamed at? No. Questioned? Yes, when I called it during an interrupted dribble. A had driven to the lane and lost control of his dribble after he was in there for a couple seconds. During the scrum for the loose ball, I called 3 seconds. It was a rare situation for me in that I wouldn't normally call 3 seconds from T, but the drive had come from my area and I was on ball (high in the paint) in a 2 whisltle game.
I don't consider this the same as an F-bomb, however.
