I say no technical. Just because a coach wants to use a timeout to stare-down an officials, in a game that close, is his problem. He is now not using his and his teams’ time wisely.

The official who was the subject of the stare-down should have looked away. Contrary to popular belief, just as the official seemed intimidated the coach may have felt the official was trying to intimidate him as well by staring. As long as the official kept staring at the coach he continued to stare back and if the official thinks about it, in retrospect he was doing the same thing he felt the coach should have received a "T" for.

Remember as officials we have a lot of authority (some say power) when we are on the court and we must convey the proper message. We don’t want coaches or players to feel we are intimidating and by staring them down may convey the wrong message as if we are trying to bait them into doing or saying something.
