Sounds like a definitive example of "attempting to influence an official's decision," not to mention the fact that they were standing for an inappropriate reason.

10-4

Coach: I didn't ask for a TO!!
Snaqs: Okay, then I'll assess a technical for your bench being up and addressing the official.
Coach: Oh, yea, right, I DID want I TO.

Sounds like good "game management" to me.
