Some coaches will downgrade you if you issue a T. But, some will recognize that they deserved it and not penalize you (and may even upgrade you). And, the coach at the other end of the floor might appreciate that you took care of business and upgrade you. How it really affects your ratings is unclear, to me.

and, of course, the state could make it such that a coach who gets a T is unable to rate the officials in that game. (I suppose if the coach has the same officials later in the year, the coach could carry a grudge forward.)
