How about, "Come back to your cage, little lost puppy"?
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.
My line is always, "Coach, I need you to find your box, please". I think it's polite, but not a suggestion.
