Technical Foul Mechanics

[johnnyrao]

What's the best way to call a technical foul for an excessive timoeout? I had it happen tonight in a girls varsity game. The player called a time out while under pressure to inbound a ball after a made basket. I called the foul and the table said the team was out of TOs. The coach already knew it and knew what was coming. I didn't do anything dramatic. I walked over to the coach and told her what happened and what I weas calling. I then went to the other bench and informed the other coach. I also notified my partners. After the TO the referee told me to go to the table, blow the whistle and signal the T so everyone in the gym knew what was going on. Is there an actual way to call this? I didn't see the need to "sell it" since the coach was clearly aware of what happened. Any suggestions?
