Would you call a T here?

To me this was more of how it was said and not what was said. I hear "and one" a lot but not in the way it was directed at me.

As far as protecting a shorter, almost all contact was initiated by the offense jumping into a stationary vertical defender. The dribbler was definitely responsible for the contact.

Then it most likely wasn't a foul and you correctly held your whistle.
I also agree with you about the manner in which the comment was made. You wrote that it was directed right at you and with anger. That's a T without a doubt. I'm not taking that lack of respect from a player.

I can ignore a kid saying "and 1" to no one in particular after scoring, but not getting in my face.

Either a "knock it off," as Rich suggests. Or, "Hey, 24, you don't have to agree with me, but you can't do that."

If he's a hot head, find a team leader and have him talk to him

Are you saying it is open season on tall players?

Must have been a Freudian slip. I am about 5'8 and after I called it I heard a fan say "he has short man syndrome."
