Depends - a lot of areas track T's on coaches, so this one might matter in the long run. Besides - your authority is not over until you're gone. While I personally would have been gone LONG before this happened, if for some reason I was stuck on the court and someone does something T-worthy, they are getting one. Ditto ejections in baseball/softball (and yes, I HAVE ejected a coach after a game was over).
