Along similar lines as the thread regarding comments to coaches. (Different type of "comment")

I have found myself calling most of my technical fouls for unsporting behavior when I am reporting a foul to the table and the coach against whose team the foul was called is complaining. I don't know why but this really makes me boil! I've just called a foul, I'm going to the table trying to keep a number of items in mind -- player who fouled, color of team that fouled, player who WAS fouled, the penalty for the foul (OOB, two free throws, etc), etc. The last thing I want is a coach objecting to a call whil and I have a coach directly complaining to my face about the call (or other calls I've missed). Before I report, I usually tell the coach, "I've heard enough. Take your seat." I've typically only called the technical if they persist by continuing to complain.

Do any of you have similar situations that make you boil? Would any of you handle this situation differently? Any suggestions?
