Thicker skin

[Vinski]

Thanks a ton for your comments. I’m the first to admit that I had made some mistakes here. I do realize that I didn’t handle the FT procedures for the technical as cleanly as I could have, which as Nevada pointed out may have averted the coach blowing his stack. Also, I may have made too much use of the stop sign, but in my brief experience it was usually enough. However, this game was much different than any other I had done. These coaches thought they were Bobby Night and they were playing for a shot at the NCAA championship.
Also, as mentioned by BillyMac, I did misuse the work “official” in the OP. I didn’t actually go to the table and have the warning recorded, I just gave the hand and said that they had been clearly warned and the Technical was right behind it.
