That said, I'm not going to be at the table after a game anyway. I know too many officials that, for whatever reason, like to go shake hands with the table crew after the game.

I've never had a coach threaten me with the "You'll never work here again" line. I did have a coach threaten to give me a bad rating last year during a game and he earned a T. I didn't really consider a Flagrant T for that threat to be honest. I felt the T was enough.
As far as shaking hands with the table: That's what you do before the game. If you need to thank them later on, do it during a late timeout.

Not being sarcastic, I am legitimately asking how your area would handle it.

We have to file reports with the state for all technical fouls that involve sportsmanship. I have given a postgame technical before just so I could report it to the state. A coach didn't say anything to us the last several minutes of the game, then when I had to run by his bench on the way off the court he decided to get a shot in, knowing that the game was over. With most other coaches I would have ignored it, but this guy's reputation didn't help him very much.
