To "T" or not to "T" that is the question

[firedoc]

I'm not sure that you baited the coach, but I might have been inclined to issue a stern warning such as "coach, I've heard enough" or "coach, let me be the referee and you be the coach." If he then did what you described I would not have hesitated to issue the "T" and "take care of business." I once issued a "T" and when the coach asked me why I gave him the technical, I responded by saying that "I don't give technicals away, coach...you earn them!"
