Bang.....bang!!!

There's nothing that says an official can't issue two technical fouls in succession. People take that philosophy too far...if a coach or player does something to earn a second T before I get away from them, I'm not going to let it pass.

I did years ago. I've brought up the situation a couple times in different threads.

I called the first T on the HC and was waiting to report it to the table as my partner had just called an intentional foul on the opposing team and hadn't come over yet. The HC continued to stand next to the scorer's table (way out of his box) and continued to yell at me. So I hit him again. He deserved it. And he had a 40 point lead. I have no doubt in my mind that he thought that since I had just called a T on him that I would let him continue to rant.

He was an excellent X's & O's coach (following season he won state championship and now is a lower division college HC) but he was a piece of work on the sidelines, pure and simple. Sarcastic, loud, historionics. Apparently he felt it was his mission to embarass officials.
