Late technical foul

This brings up an interesting point. I personally have NEVER given a technical quickly, spontaneously, as apparently happened here, then later said to myself that I should not have made the call. On the other hand, there are countless times when I have said later, "I should have T'd him up,"
when I had not made the call at all. And of course, there are situations in between: He better calm down.......that's enough.......Whack!

My conclusion is that maybe I should call more of the quick spontaneous variety, but there is no definitive answer to this question.
