T Up a Fan?!?

Of course, overall Game Management should announce throughout the game to remain off the court, but how often are announcements like that done? For the games where I've seen this happen in person, the announcements are non-exsistent.

Yes the Texas A&M coach could of/should of been T'd, but due to the seriousness of the injury nothing was done. All the time, it comes to a person's judgement whether or not to assess the penalty or not.

No official that I know of would call a T on the coach there. Typically, when there is an injury, the only punishment for a coach coming onto the court is to assume he's been beckoned and then require the player be replaced or the coach burns a TO. So, while it "could" have been called, no official would say it "should" have been called.
And, FWIW, the severity of the injury has little to do with it here.
