			Afraid to call technicals?  I don't think so.  I've called my share over the years.
 Have I seen an official give a technical in lieu of good listening skills?  Absolutely.
 
 Give a warning? Then a technical?  Maybe it is better to find out why the coach is saying what he is in the first place.
 
 I watch a lot of top level college hoops.  Those guys don't exactly call a lot of technicals and they communicate well with coaches that have more pressure on them than the coaches that WE deal with (unless you call D-I, that is).
 
 Why is that?
