You two are almost saying the same thing, with one caveat.
If you're going to threaten (warn, whatever), it better be supported by rule. If you tell a coach - "If you keep doing X, I'm going to do Y", then you better have rule support for preventing him from doing X, and Y better be the appropriate penalty.
The problem in the OP is that this is not the case. X is not something you can tell a coach to stop unless you issue the T first.
Essentially, OP has issued a T without it counting toward his 2, and without awarding free throws. The OP landed in no-man's land. There's no such thing as half a T.
