Technical Time Out

He was not frustrated with my call just himself. He did not swear or make an idiot of himself. Just slapped the floor, loudly, and stood up.

I would not give a T on JUST a "Shoot." Was there more to it?

I do not try to read a player's or coach's mind and attempt to figure out why they did something, I simply look at their actions.
If the actions are out-of-line, it is a T every time.
I don't care who he is mad at or why he is mad, how he displays or controls that anger is what everyone in the gym sees and what I must pass judgment upon.
To answer your question, if a player just says shoot, no problem, but if he slaps the floor or slams the ball after a call, the T is automatic for me.
