Aggressively approaching official

So, are you suggesting that you'd eject a coach who yells at you while waving their arms around but wouldn't if they only yelled at you?

Or would you eject a coach who took their jacket off while yelling at you but not just for either one alone?

No, I'm saying that I'd eject a coach who had to be restrained, removed a coat, and threw it after receiving the first technical. And would lose no sleep over it.

+1!!!

And trying to get out of it by clinging to an argument as flimsy as it was all part of one action is just weak, IMO.

SOunds good to me. Seems like we may have been talking past each other. That is not the situation I was necessarily thinking of.

Isn't that the situation in the WNBA game, though?

I have seen NBA coaches get tossed for less.

I guess so. Some of my replies were more generic and not specifically about this specific example. That said, I had also watch the video at work without sound and didn't realize she had been T'd right at the very beginning of the video. I had focused on the middle of the video with the replay of the toss and the foul. I have now rewatched the video and realize when the original T occurred much earlier. Two T's are earned on that one.

The first T in the video was for the player. Then the coach got T'd for her initial reaction.

Yes, but they were both at the start...I didn't realized both were T'd up at the beginning...way before the jacket sequence.

Are you still discussing the actual play? Or are you trying to say that in some hypothetical similar plays you may or may not dodge the ejection by deciding the coach's marionette show was all one show? The OP - the actual play on the actual court - it's clear cut that she should have been T'd up twice, even at the WNBA level, but most definitely so at any other level below that.
