I agree. I also have a very thick skin during a game, probably because I deal with people who are under stress as part of my regular occupation. But when a coach is getting out of control, I make a point of giving him the clear "stop" sign and that is the warning. If his behavior doesn't change, then it is time to take care of business and the "T" is in order.
Also, after I issue a "T" (and I do it as businesslike as possible with very little emotion) I don't head right for the table to report it. Instead I head towards the center circle...this way, if the coach has anything that he wants to say to me, he has to either say it loudly so that everyone can hear it or come onto the court. Of course, either way he gets another "T."
