Seatbelting a head coach for a dunk in warm-ups has to be one of the most ridiculous rules I know. Why is this singular act by a player used to penalize the coach and the whole team, where other acts are charged to the player only? It is a stupid thing for a player to do, but once it has happened, it should be a T and play the game.

I disagree. It's an indirect T on the coach because at that point, all team members are bench personnel. It's the coach's responsibility to insure that the players aren't dunking during warm-ups. I bet if his butt has to sit down for a game or two because of this, he'll create a little more discipline on the team.
