I've only given one in my four-plus years of officiating--rung up a kid for clapping in his opponent's face after blocking a shot. That one was a no-brainer.

Officials need to stop thinking that technical fouls are something to be avoided at all costs. Sometimes a coach has one coming and not giving one encourages bad behavior. Warn once...if he comes back again, whack him and move on.
