"Coach, although I can't force you to stop calling the game from the bench I must inform you that if you persist I will assess a technical foul directly to you which will result in you loosing your coaching box priveldges. Do you really want that??"
Something along those lines works well. But if you warn the coach be sure to follow through with the penalty. Also, catch this early in the game. If you've let him get away with it for 3 and a half quarters then the 4th quarter really isn't the best place to start penalizing him.
