My comments were more about how the officiating team should handle it, not who should handle it. I agree that it is better to get the second official involved to avoid an escalation of a heated situation. And I also think it looks better if the second T comes from the second official to avoid the appearance that one of you has gotten an attitude with this particular coach. Probably easier to explain in the report if both of you saw fit to T him, rather than one guy both times. But this is not to say one ref can't give two Ts where warranted, especially if the partner isn't providing much back up.
All I was saying is that I wouldn't be hasty to T a seatbelted coach for standing and coaching - I would have one of the member of the officiating team warn him that he is seatbelted. And if he stands, coaches, and then corrects it himself, I wouldn't think that you need to have seen it. If he stands and yells, or refuses to be seatbelted after a warning, then do as you must. But I wouldn't be looking to disqualify a coach when he is coaching - you got plenty else to worry about.
