Technical or no Technical?

Let me throw something else in here, fwiw. For the most part, I agree in general that an explanation isn't necessary. But there may be some instances where a quick word to your partner may be necessary for crew unity in the case it really isn't clear to a lot of people why the T was given. If my partner is standing next to a coach, and that coach says something my partner feels is T-worthy, but not loud or obvious enough to others, I will want to know so I can be consistent to also give one if the same thing is said to me later. Maybe I might feel it was a quick trigger by my partner, but since they drew the line there, I will also enforce that line for the rest of the game. I seen many times where a coach will earn a T from official, but gets away with saying it again, and more, to the partners, because they didn't have the same threshold.
