IMHO a 'good' t will always make the game better. In my experience I've never whacked someone only to have game go South, on any level.
I have. I called a technical only to have the coach completely lose it and draw a second one seconds later. That was about 15-16 years ago, my last basketball coach ejection.

But it doesn't mean I wish I hadn't called it. Once the coach left, it was better.
