I can see the point but the advice seems misguided.

Might be giving coaches a little too much credit too. You think they are that perceptive and deeply analytical in the heat of a game? Doubtful.

I can see telling some one to make sure and not let that T affect your calls afterwards, but not a blanket statement like that. Good grief.
If you're worried about the other coach, why aren't you worried about the first coach thinking you're out to get him?

Man, I would love to know which NBA ref it was who said that. Maybe the NBA would like to know, too.

I know that I always hope that the next foul or violation that I call after whacking a coach is on his team, but more often than not, the gods of basketball seem to have me call a foul or violation on the opponents of the coach whom I have just whacked.

If by "perceptive and deeply analytical" you mean "paranoid", then , yes, I think that coaches are that way.
