calling technical

[rcwilco]

I have a question for some of you pros out there, from a situation I had. Partner is reporting a foul and while watching the players, one of them commits a technical, (an elbow as another player walked by, same two involved in foul). This might sound picky but what are the best mechanics and could I have done something differently? Do you make the sign for a T and then just stand there and wait for your partner to get done reporting, should you at any point blow your whistle (play is obviously already stopped, will it mess up your partner reporting, lets everyone know something is going on, etc).

Here is what I did. I ran over to stop any future actions, then made the T sign, then stood there a while as there was a question from the table to my partner, some players and one coach had seen my signal and started asking across the court to me what was going on, my partner looked over in the middle of what he was doing and I just made another T sign, one coach thought I had called a second T, people are getting upset. I finally was able to go to my partner and inform him while the questions were getting louder, then to the table to report and sort it out. I am not sure what to do different but it felt awkward, not communicated well and a little confusing to everyone.
Thanks.
