His rationale basically was that once we warn a bench, it's going to stick, and the next behavior that raises to that level will be a T, no debate.

When I came to the table and the V coach and his assistants heard me recording the warning with the scorer, they looked on in disbelief. That was followed by the HC telling his AC's that they were to keep quiet the rest of the game. Not a peep from the AC's the rest of the game.

Maybe that was my Crew Chief's intent all along. He is a wily old veteran.
