How many times does a coach get to say "that was terrible" before getting td?

There's a progression I'm fond of for routine situations like this (and for this, let's assume that I'm stuck in front of the coach and can't get out of his pocket).

Ignore - Wave - Warn - Whack

I'll ignore it the first time if it's not over the top. Sometimes a coach engages mouth before brain.

Second time, I'll say something like, "I hear you, John."

Third time, "You've made your point. Move on."

Next time, I'm whacking him. I gave him plenty of chances to move on.

That's amazin so few in that amount of time. I have a policy " Don't break into jail ". Tech speak for themselves admin or otherwise. At the end of the day, the game usually becomes a good contest after the riff raft is eliminated.

Probably a few more as I just remebered the one last year for a clip-board sailing across the court after a charge call the coach didn't like :-)

But I can say that I have probably had no more than 10. For the most part around here the coaches know how to pick their battles
