Chair slamming/stomping

I posted this question on the thread that was discussing clipboard throwing, and that thread went into profanity, etc. without anyone answering my question so I'm starting a new thread. However, the idea behind asking it is still the same as when I asked it on the other thread. Please do realize, I know most answers will be HTBT or not automatic, etc., but a discussion on this is valid because some gyms are now being built so teams are not seated on the bleachers but rather on chairs on the floor.

Here goes:

If a coach picks up a chair and slams it straight down (not throwing it Bobby Knight style), automatic T? How about if he lifts his feet high enough and stomps down on it really hard?

Reason I ask is that Bob Erickson (now retired coach from Doane College in Nebraska) was famous for doing the aforementioned antics. Most of the officials that worked those games usually let it slide because he did it out of frustration at his own players and never because he didn't like a call by an official. However, there were a couple of officials who T'd him up the very first time he did it in their games, and a couple of others who would T him up if he did it while Doane was on defense. I'm just curious everyone's thoughts on this.
