With regards to my assigner believing me or not, I'm not too concerned about that because my game was well managed by taking care of business and going about it in an appropriate manner. I gave the Perception that coach was warned for something. I/My partner whacked coach because the Perception was that he got a warning for something he/she said/did earlier. Beside, if you whack'em without a public warning, everyone in the building is wondering why coached got whacked.

I don't worry about what everyone in the building thinks. If that's why you're doing it, I disagree with the practice even more. Some officials feel the need to be able to show on tape to their assignor they did something. And, some assignors promote this procedure. If so, you do it because you work for them.
That said, I'm not doing it to please the crowd. If the other coach is upset at that coach's antics, I can communicate that I addressed it. I just don't see how a very public admonishment is better for the in-game relationship than a verbal warning that only the coach hears. He then doesn't feel he got shown up in public, which is what we whack coaches for.
