Handled Correctly?

Your bar is too low - all you're doing is being the guy the coach refers to when he tells other officials, "But the last guy didn't give me a T for that." Don't leave messes for your successors to clean up.

It never leaves a good feeling for the remainder of the game or the ride home when I "T" anyone up.

Honestly, I think this is the root of the reason you're not calling the T's when you should. You should have little or no emotion regarding issuing a technical foul. Come to it with the point of view that you are merely announcing the infraction - just like any other foul. Coach earns his own T, and you should not feel bad or good about it --- just like any other foul or violation you call during the game.
