No Warning given

[mbyron]

More concretely: some kinds of behavior merit a T only when the coach persists in them. For example, I have no problem answering a coach who asks me why I called a foul (or better: what did I see).

But not every trip down the court. For that, I'll warn first and then whack. The rationale for the warning is to make the line clear: with his or her persistence, the coach has gone from asking questions to attempting to influence an official. Only the latter is prohibited by rule.

Jumping out on the court over a call? That's ridiculous.
