And yes if the coach did more I have no problem with the T anyway. The officials were there and they know what was said and done in this situation and done previously. I have a hard time trying to judge someone for what they give a T for without hearing their side of the story. This might have been the 5th time the coach did something and then was warned. I just am not a fan if the "wave" was the first time a coach reacted, but some feel that is over the top.

I hear ya. For me a simple wave off is not automatic either. I consider all of the other factors you mentioned.

Just from the video though I think the coach is way too demonstrative in his protest of the call. And that's without even hearing what was said in additon to the gestures.
