Every official has his own boundary that a coach cannot cross. This boundary may even be different from one game to another and partly depends on the level of play. Personally I have a very thick skin because I deal with people who are under great stress during my regular occupation, but even I have limits. I usually will give the "stop sign" as a warning when I feel that a particular coach is beginning to cross the line. If the behavior continues, then the "T" is in order. My best advice is thata "T" feels right, then it is right. Also, when coaches (or players for that matter) ask me why I gave them a "T", I respond by saying "Coach, I don't give things away...coaches earn the technicals that they get."
