Should I have called a Tech?

Usually, for almost all T's, one is going to blow their whistle and signal a T...then report it to the table. Any interaction with the coach almost always comes after the technical is reported to the table. And in fact, if you DQ a player, you're going to have to inform the head coach anyway. Like bob said earlier, one communicates with the coach before a player crosses the line...giving the coach a chance to "handle it."

I will say, I've never seen an infraction of this sort reported AFTER talking to the coach. All kinds of misconceptions can come of it...at the very least, the opposing coach is going to wonder why you had a word with the other head coach before assessing the technical.
