Why? You really don't need to know the reason. The only information that you need is who it was charged against. Your responsibility is to support your partner by administering the penalty, not explaining the call.

Coach, it is not an obligation of an official to give you an explanation for everything that happens. Explanations come because you are being a nice guy at the moment or you are not the person that got the T. I am not going to explain anything to you if you have crossed a line. The next thing I say to you is going to lead to a debate and I would not like to throw you out of the game.

If you do not know what you got T'd for, then you either are not paying attention or trying to be a jerk to the official. Explanations are a courtesy, not obligation.

umm, WRONG!
If I as a coach didn't hear what the T was for, or who it is on, I need to know! I don't care what the dam rule book says as farf as an obligation. Common sense and a brain that functions says it's stoopid to not inform me simply because it's not required. There is at the very least an ethical obligation to inform me so that I have a frikin clue what it is that is not to be repeated! Not paying attention, or trying to be a jerk are but 2 plausible explanations, but certainly not the entire list.

Can you show me anywhere in any book where it is an obligation to tell a coach anything about a T? Now remember, these fouls are reported to the table. So I will be waiting for your very specific reference swiftly.

Coach, if you were to respond to me on the floor like you responded to JRut in this thread, then you already KNOW why you were T'ed up. Whether you like it or not, I'm not coming across the floor to give you an explanation, just so you can deny doing anything and start an argument.

If my partner hands you the T and you ask me what he did, my reply is simple. "Coach, I don't know why you got a T. All I know is you have to sit."

The best thing you can do at that point is sit down.
