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.

To some his behavior was too demonstrative, but then again I would like to know what other actions were tolerated. These issues are often not confined to a bubble and if other actions were allowed similarity, I would probably suggest this could have been passed on. Then again, the officials were there and all we are seeing is a muted version of the play.
