MTD, man have you changed your tune! No thanks on the "lecture" I have been mentored by some of the best current officials in the country and I know the power of what we can do as officials during dead ball. Maybe you need a refresher since you previously said "only bad things can happen during a dead ball." Now you are saying what occurs during a dead ball is important? Is that your final answer?
You are saying too much to a coach during the administration of a T that your partner gave him. If I was your partner I would have a problem with you for that at halftime or after the game. Anything that takes longer than "coach you must remain seated for the rest of the game" it too long and you will not change my feelings about that. Plus you don't have to get in the coaches personal space when you say that so you can say it in passing. I would not want to wait for the coach to sit down because that will give him more of a reason to argue his case with me. A conversation with a coach like you describe would not sit well with me. Period.

I haven't changed my tune at all. What I am trying to have with you is a intelligent conversation. I think that you have forgotten is that this forum exists so that officials can have intelligent learned discussions about the rules and mechanics, and how to apply them to plays in the real world; not for tirads against other officials on this board.
