The school can deal with the fallout afterward, but if the head coach can't control this kid, then the team has to pay the price for her actions and reactions. Forfeiting the game is extreme in this case - that wouldn't happen, but another T is absolutely going to happen.

I'm not saying I wouldn't call another T, in fact I'm saying I would. I'm asking if you should make the same signal you would at any other time? It seems it might be wiser to observe the actions until things are under control, then inform the table of the Tech or possibly how many techs.

I guess I'm thinking about it this way: If you're one of the officials 4 feet away from her and blow the whistle right next to her and make your signal, good chance that enrages her further, and next she yells some obscenity at you for calling that. Then you call another. Then she responds. Then another.... You didn't do anything wrong here, but could this have been avoided by simply getting away from the player and reporting all T's after the incident?
