I guess it depends on what you mean by flushing. The "T" on the heater hose method is fine if all you wish to do is replace the coolant after diluting the old stuff to the point where it is mostly water. If you wish to truly flush all the crap out of the radiator and heater core then the "T" is not a great method IMHO. A forceful flow in the reverse direction to the normal flow is what I do and with the hoses unhooked to prevent spreading this crap back throughout the system.
