Thanks - I wasn't clear. I meant to say is that I wouldn't give a T the first time it happens. Once it became a nuissance, I would give a warning and then a T if it continued.

My point was that I think the rule book gives me too much leeway on what to tolerate. At the scholastic level, we wouldn't be expected to pass up a double dribble call the first time it happens, but we would be expected to pass on giving a T to a coach the first time they try to influence a call.
