That's how it feels to me when I have to remind a coach. "Back in your box!" or "The box, coach" sounds like talking to an animal. I've started using a more feminine version, "Coach I really need you to stay inside your lines here. (with gesture)." Or more firmly, "Coach, you need to stay inside your lines." It just feels less aggressive.
