Haha, I misunderstood the game.

"You have no clue what you're doing out there, do you?"
No

"Seriously, that call was atrocious."
No

"Do you have a problem with me?"
No

"What is your problem?"
Yes

"You're doing a great job, but your partner is awful."
Depends on how loud this is.

"It's tough playing 8 on 5."
No (it really is tough)

"Blow your whistle for crying out loud!"
No

Every single one of those statements could be worthy of a T...it really all depends on how they are said and when they are said. If it's the first thing a coach says to me during a game, then probably not except for the 8 on 5 one...if the coach has been talked to and told to knock it off, then all of them are worthy of a T...

It's not necessarily what they say, but how they say it.

I think that's why he asked in of itself. All of these statements could be a T if the right circumstances are met.

Every one of these could result in a T and every one might not get a T based on a lot of factors as well. There are no absolutes in this game and trying to make it that way will only not give you a feel for the game. Almost all of these would result in the situation being addressed if heard, but many might not be heard as I would not be next to a coach or player at all times. I try my best to handle situations without a T and it works a lot. Also there is a thing called ABS where none of these things would result in a T but things much so egregious on their own.

Peace
