Justified Technical?

[BktBallRef]

#1, no, you should never talk to a coach about what may have happened in the previous game, whether the game was 10 minutes or 10 years ago.

#2, once you gave him the warning, you shouldn't have any other discussion with him unless it's in reply to a question that's respectfully asked.

#3, you don't owe the timer an explanation. A polite "No." and then resume the game.

What are the other two P's?

Yeah, you are right.

As I wrote, it was after the game. And he was respectful and polite about it, so I told him "No, the technical was for the comments", and left.

I've heard them as personal, public, or persistent.

Persnickity. PITA.

Those are the three we use when talking about whether to eject or not in baseball, too.
