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.

I spent much of last year training my puppy behavior type things like "stay", "no" - you know, one word sharp commands to quickly get his attention. Anywho, about this time during an AAU game a coach jumped up suddenly to voice his displeasure, I turned around and sharply said "SIT!". He looked at me like I was nuts, started to say something, then just sat down.
