The coaching box has certain uses, berating the officials and officiating the game is not one of them. I would tell him to coach his team and that he is not allowed to be up criticizing the officials, then I would T him. Btw, that is one of my first T's to a coach a few years ago. I am pretty green, listen to every word at the meetings and this coach is standing the entire game. I go by a couple of times and remind him to sit down. Once, he is ticked and starts screaming at me across the floor "YOU CAN'T TELL ME TO SIT DOWN, I DON'T HAVE TO". Whack, technical foul, coach. Now you do, coach. After the game he approaches me and asks me why I T'd him. I said "coach, you had two choices when I asked you nicely to sit down, one is to ignore me and take your chances, two is to sit down, Screaming at me across the floor was not an option" Figured I would never work there again, but he has been fine every since.
