It's calls like that that give officials a bad name and fuels the misguided perception some have that officials are out of touch and take away from the game.
I can see a T in the case someone else described where a guy jacks a shot that goes under the bleachers or something and refuses to go get it after repeated request. But in the situation described, any official who would issue a T or even begin to justify a T, is not someone I would want to work with and someone who truly DOES NOT GET IT.

Let me see if I can reply in like language.
Anyone who holds your opinion is not a REAL official just a fanboy or ex-coach who puts on a shirt and pretends. The official should not consider "the situation" and is not taking the game away from anyone. The misbehaving player is doing that. The REAL official properly does his job and penalizes such action with impartiality.
You are the one who gives officials a bad name.
How was that? Did you like those words?
