Given:

Only the way I do it is correct.

All the other posts in this thread will be variations on one of the two options, so you can stop reading now.

LOL fair enough. I'm leaning to option 1 FWIW. We work about 20 dates a season, and he's always the one that ends up getting picked on (sharks smell blood in the water), over the past two seasons our crew has given out 5 T's to coaches, and he's given all but one.

As usual, Bob wins the thread.

Personally, I probably would've ignored it unless it was the last straw of an ABS technical.... but if it was ABS, he probably would've said something rather than just kicking the bench.

Bob says you need to read no further, and our mantra is "always listen to bob."

I'm going to respond anyway, because motorcycles or something.

Personally, for me, these actions are going to depend. It seems like your partner had accumulated enough BS and he was done. What did your other partner say about it?

I've called Ts for less (ABS), and I've ignored more. I got a coach last weekend when he kept going (as he sat down) after I told him it was enough.

More often than not, when a coach kicks or slaps the bench in response to a call (rather than in response to his players), it's going to be a T for me.

You're a thin-skinned, lily-livered panty-waist.

I've already sent Brad an email complaining about your behavior here. That's just mean.

I'm gonna like it here.

In the case of kicking something, that's probably going to be a T. Especially if it was in response to what we did.

The hand slapping, that was in response to his own team, I wouldn't have T'd him up for that behavior. Unless it was summer league, in which case I hand out T's for everything.
