Anyhow, need to be realistic. There is NO WAY, in a D1, NCAA Tournament game...with less than 2 minutes left in the game of a tight game....no way a coach is going to get a T for saying "That's awful" no matter how many times...and much less get a T 40 FEET away from the action.

You don't have to T him. Just turn and say, "that's enough coach" with a stern look and an extended hand. It's funny how we (officials) talk about calling the game the same for the whole 40 minutes and interpreting rules literally. We use it to our defense to defend calls. We make fun of announcers who say, "officials shouldn't decide the game in the last two minutes." But then we say, "I'm not going to worry about the coaches behavior now that it's late and close." Players learn our boundaries and so do coaches. When we change, they will adjust.
A good article that includes some quotes from John Adams about coach behavior:
