Would you have T ed ?

If, as an official, you have one way you like to approach these types of situation, it becomes the same medicine, the same cure, the same response for whatever level you work.

My point is that if this coach is teetering on getting fired, and my T would send his employer over the edge to fire him; not calling that T would only postpone the inevitable anyway. That's a big "if," though. Besides, his career progression isn't my concern. It's the game, and it's bigger than any coach or official.
I don't call this T to make him like me or respect me or because of how it makes me feel. I call the T because coaches and players need to know they can't get away with calling a ref a cheater. How it makes me feel is irrelevant.

Oh, by the way, your strawman is burning.
