He said "Thank you, its about time." and I never heard another word.

I gave my first one in two years to a head coach tonight. Kinda the same thing. Chirping for 2 quarters and then I called a foul on his player who was surrounded by defensive players and then he started throwing elbows. I was right there and the coach was on the far end of the court. I gave him one warning that that was enough and I was done listening. Next time down the court... Whack!! Still chirping. Felt pretty good to get that under the belt. One of the head evaluators was there and said that was the best call of the game.

Was there illegal contact? Otherwise it's just a violation.
