"T" ing a Coach - When

Asking for some thoughts you apply on when to and not to let the coach have the Technical.

1) After a warning? Is warning "fair"
2) swearing or vulgarity?
3) Coaching the ref's and not his/her players?
4) Throwing hands up just to excit their crowd?

There is no magic formula. There is no one size fits all way of doing this. A coach could do all those listed above and they might not get T'd at all. They might do one of these and they might get T'd on the spot. You have to learn to find your own threshold and do what works for you. And the level also makes a difference, at least to me it does.

Ever ask the Assistant or scorekeeper to "cool them off"?

Comments?

If I have to say anything, I say it to the coach. But I might tell a Head Coach to quite his bench or anyone on it, before sticking them. Give him the opportunity to handle his bench, in order to prevent from the Head Coach from having to sit.
