Intent ?
Who says it is for the officials to hear?
The coach isn't on the floor - you can not see him - maybe it is just a pep talk - that is a tough call to say he intends it.

Read the OP, in the official's judgment, it was intended for the officials.

the offical thinks it is intended for their benifit - and I do not doubt it. I just do not think that it is sufficient for you to T this coach up.
I do not disagree that it is a terrible thing that he does, I just do not think you have any jurisdiction over it once they go behind the closed doors of that locker room.

It's the official's judgment that matters on that point.

Please see the case play Nevada posted showing officials have jurisdiction behind closed doors.

Rather than striving to come up with reasons not to penalize the coach for his terrible behavior, I would advocate that an official simply take action.

I'm continually amazed at the lengths to which people will go to avoid dealing with unsporting behavior. Why is there this unwillingness?

In this sitch presented, the OP says he judged the coach to be speaking to the officials through thin walls.

Who says it is for the officials to hear? - Anyone else ever hear a coach say, "But, I wasn't talking to you." After whistling up a T?
