I think, much like the sideline warning in football, the coach's warning can be an effective tool if used at the first sign of misbehavior. It is also more effective if you use it early in the game. But, you can be sure that coaches will complain loudly if you T them up without a warning now, even if the Note is in the new rule. I can imagine some coaches will try to game the system. On the other hand, I think many officials were worried about policing the coach's box or misbehavior when the only penalty was a Technical foul. The official warning might enable officials to better control those aspects of coaching behavior before it gets out of hand.
