This is just a case of bad timing that happens evry now and then. Most of the time it should be obvious that one is coming, so no one should think you were influenced. You had good idea though, giving two T's, but only if the B1 did something to warrant it. If he was calm and not disrespecting, I move on and away.
On the other end had, I had a game where I reported the foul and was walking over to the lane to administer the throws. The A coach made a rather loud and inappropriate comment to me. Before I could turn and get the whistle up to my mouth, B coach was jumping up and down, toward me and yelling for me to give coach A a T. In a nutshell, Coach B lost it and made a spectacle of himself. . I hit them both.
Talking with the AD later in the year it turns out it was his first year as a coach, and learned a hard lesson. When an official turns back to the table, and is putting the whistle up, it's T time; no need to point it out or draw attention to yourself. His team went from possibly getting 7 points; to missing the front end and losing possession on the arrow.
