So you decide at the time? We stay table side if the T is on a player and go across if it is on a coach. The thought process (I always think logical process) is we should be able to communicate the offense with another adult...unless that adult is the offender. If the adult is the offender, giving some time and space will allow things to calm...in most cases. If they don't calm and the coach goes after an official across the court? That is an easy second T.

Right on. If it is on the coach, we try to get the calling official away, by doing this it cuts down the chances the coach gets another T. Unless he wants to talk to him about the T.

Calling official stays and talks to coach during the free throws, and goes cross court for the inbound.

... have your partners call the Mythbusters:

Players, other than the shooter, and the players in the designated lane spaces, are to remain behind the free throw line extended and behind the three point arc, and may not penetrate the free throw line extended and the three point arc until the ball hits rim or backboard. During a free throw, no opponent, including bench personnel, may disconcert the free thrower. For free throws when there are no rebounders in the marked lane spaces, i.e. technical fouls and intentional fouls, the nine nonshooters shall remain behind the free throw line extended and behind the three point arc.
