Depends on how loud and demonstrative. I agree with other post. Give a little leeway for screwup.

'OK coach, you've had your say'............any snappy retort from him/her, tweet.

How would you feel if your partner forgot a number, then compounded the problem by T'ing a coach for making a comment like that? Everyone seems to jump on the T wagon saying the coach was yelling. It just looks like a sacrastic comment with some merit to me. As long as it ends when play resumes, "Let it go, Louie."

I personally don't see how a T compounded the problem - sits coach down and is the strongest warning that he should shut up and keep his sarcasm to himself.

IMO - I don't think OP would have forgotten the player # if it had not been for the coach. I also think that we "warn" coaches too much. We don't warn players the first time they push an airborne shooter to the floor - why should we allow coaches to get away with things they know are wrong?

If the coach made OP forget the number, then OP choked, period. When I see a quick T after a missed to controversial call, it tells me that the official is defensive and/or doesn't react well in stressful situations. It also causes the official to lose a ton of credibility with coaches, partners, and players. And it's a lot harder to earn back what is lost.
