He was with the visiting team so they were gone by the time I came out of the office after post game.

Wait - you mean he never did find that rule???

I always use the whistle to signal a technical foul except for pre-game administrative or dunking T's. A good piece of advice that I've been given is to turn or walk away from the coach before you signal the T. That way you're not as confrontational, you're not seen as provoking a response and if the coach decides to react, you've put some room between him/her and you.
