Close but not quite correct. The TECH is what causes the coach to focus more on coaching, not the act of having to sit down. And refs would call more techs if it didn’t require having to go over there and tell the coach to sit.

Whether the coach sits on his own or not it irrelevant — we have to tell him. Otherwise he can claim he never was told and create a pain in the ass when we tech him later for standing.
