I've been taught that if you call the first tech on a coach/player, then you should let your partner call the second (if needed).
There are two reasons for this...
1) Your feelings regarding the first tech may skew your judgment and lead to an unnecessary second.
2) In the eyes of the coach it doesn't look like it's one particular official that's "out to get him".
BTW, I'm strictly a high school official, so I'm sure things are done different at the college level. Seeing how Coach Jim Boeheim acted last year certainly tells me that.
