Maybe a word of "discouragement"...
Perhaps one way is to use preventive officiating during the prematch conference. Since the seat-belt rule is one of the points of emphasis this year (at least it is in the PowerPoint presentation), simply say "Since NF is emphasizing this year when the coach may legally be off the bench, if you are off the bench for a reason other than those that are allowed, you are taking the risk of being warned and/or possible sanction."
Obviously, we do not want to create a negative environment, but by the same token, we need to let the coaches know what is acceptable and what is not.
