Don't be afraid to take the time and the attitude of "I don't really need to know all that" makes me think you're more concerned about getting things done in a timely fashion than slowing the pace down to get everything right. My point is that this is a very dangerous way of thinking. I've seen and been in games that got royally screwed up because guys got in a big hurry. If my explanation slows all that down, it was indeed worth it.

Crews I work on always get together before administering Techs, however, the discussion never addresses the specific offense. We are only concerned with the type of T, status of the ball at the time of the infraction, where to shoot the free throws, ensuring the table properly annotates the foul, and where to administer the throw-in.
Clarifying how to proceed has nothing to do with telling your partners "The coach ... so that's why I gave him a T"
