The coach did a very emphatic one-two step back into the box, stomping her feet with her hands outstretched in a WTF gesture.

A much deserved T.

I'll post later but it was a case of "it's not what the coach did but how she did it." Minnesota's coach was trying to show up the official. She played the game and she lost.

Here it is...one more thing to consider is the context. Taurasi had received a T about 1:00 of playing time earlier for complaining about a (correct) non-call. There's a chance the crew's "nonsense" meter was in the red by this time.

"What are you going to do, give me another T?"
"Whack"
"Wait, what?"

I've seen too many officials walk away from that T. Good on her.
