I was asking only bc I knew some people that claim jacket is automatic. I have thought that it would depend on how demonstrative it is.

This isn't a jacket toss. This is a jacket laydown. I had no problem with this one. I've seen much worse in games I've watched and in games I've worked, and they've been appropriately penalized.

I'd like to know how many points behind on the scoreboard the coaches in each of these situations was. I'm not saying you have to be losing the game to get out of hand, but most of the time, I think that's the case.

If he tossed it in anger maybe. But setting down your jacket is not what I think many people are calling automatic. And I think we have to get rid of the "automatics" when it comes to giving a T. We always need context.

Bobby Knight didn't toss that chair in anger, it was just a chair laydown.

The jacket toss at :11 would not even register with me if I saw it. He was setting it down.

The "9 to 3" comment at about 1:05 would get at least a written warning and possibly a technical depending on how the game has gone, especially since he repeats it and ends the exchange with "Figure it out".

The guy at 1:30 is standing right in front of the table, which should get a written warning.

And of course the guy at 2:00 is a clown. "I didn't even say anything!!"
