I had a good official suggest to me that after calling a T, stick your fingers in your ears for 30 seconds. Then if the recipient is still going at it, bang him again.

What is the point of the T? I submit that it's really not to punish the offender, so much as it's to remedy the situation. If a coach goes off at me and I T him, and he takes another 10 seconds to vent, even vigorously, and then settles down, haven't I acheived my goal? I wouldn't say never give quick back-to-back Ts, but could the desired end be acheived without it?
