Not knowing the rules that are being played under, I am sure the discussion is not about whether to give a T or not, but to discuss what exactly the T was for and who it was on. That is important so that it is administered correctly. It is possible the table side official might not know if a foul or violation was the result of the play before the T.

It is common in my pre-game conferences with my partners before the game that I discuss what we do when we have a T. And talking to each other is one of those things I think is required so that we can make sure we are shooting everything i the proper order with the right shooter and putting the ball in the proper place. I have nothing wrong with their conversation.

Peace
