I will say, I've never seen an infraction of this sort reported AFTER talking to the coach. All kinds of misconceptions can come of it...at the very least, the opposing coach is going to wonder why you had a word with the other head coach before assessing the technical.
I have no problem with giving a T at the spot. Then walking the kid to the coach and telling him he earned a T, you going to handle him? And I may upgrade depending on the answer.

At the table it's still a T, it's just going to either be a T or an ejection (flagrant).
