I've heard many things in this thread, but nothing that will change what I do. I'm not saying this as an absolute, but I still don't see much reason for my partner to be near a coach after I give a T. Especially if we are in the second half and my partner has to go into the backcourt to be near the coach.

Every T on a coach I can remember has been obvious and there isn't anything that needs to be said afterward - the exception is a coach to said my partner was racist for not giving him a shooting foul (I T'd him up fast).

What Rut always says applies in this case: you do what works in your area. I know plenty officials who wouldn't like this though, myself included.
