No call? Probably. The coach was itching to find something to voice his opinion about before the game ended and I think he picked the wrong play. Kind of like when you're short stacked in poker, the blinds are getting bigger and bigger, and you have to decide the right hand to go all-in on; sometimes you don't have the cards you'd prefer, but you just go with it.

So....putting all of this in context, combined with the fact that all he's really guilty of is coaching the officials to "not quit" (I don't think any magic words were used), I think the one technical here is fine. It was certainly needed and warranted. A second one? Nope.

It's not the words. For me, he's got his 2nd T before he's sitting on the bench saying "don't quit."
