From an outdider's point of view, it appeared that this official was eager to hand out the second T.

To me, this 2nd T should be an easy call. No matter which way you look at it, he's threatening the official; he's also testing him to see if he has any stones. When I was in Iowa, a directive came from the state that explicitly said we were to toss a coach who threatened to rate us poorly.
