I think this may have originated over on the baseball side, but it works very nicely in basketball too...
Remember the 3 P's: if the comment is personal, profane, or prolonged, it's going to take a very good reason for me to NOT give the coach his T.
It's tough to know when to whack a coach when you're starting out. The pumpkin at the belt ones are easy but rare. It's the ones on the corners (to continue the metaphor) that will give you fits. So aside from the 3 P's, the other thing I would tell you is that if the next day you wish had whacked the coach, you should have.
