If I see a coach giving the "T" signal, I'm giving him the time out every single time. I understand that some coaches out there are a few cans short of a 24-pack on rules knowledge, but this one is a no-brainer.
A few years back, I had dinged a kid in a freshman game in the 3rd quarter. He was grumpy the rest of the game, then something happened in front of him that he thought warranted a technical. He had the ball, so he sarcastically turns to me and signals "T" with his hand. I gave him a time-out, they of course had none left, and the coach ripped him a new chute.
