In the case of the video it was clearly linked to the call, but being a stomper/waver/wall puncher/clip board tosser etc. Isn't enough to get a T. If its not being directed at officials or accompanied by statements or actions that indicate a correlaton to the call coaches can act like children if they want.

So where is your line? Coach slams his clipboard down on the court and that is OK with you? What if he kicks a chair over? What if he steps to the table and does a big arm sweep and sends the scorebook flying? What if he grabs a towel and starts swinging it and beating the crap out of his chair with it?

As long as you think he is just mad at his players, all those things are OK? It is a serious question...those things are really OK with you?
