My thoughts are, it's just a warning- not a foul. Last year I messed this up and threw the flag on a coach, which really made the situation worse. He thought he got nailed for USC, when really I was only issuing a sideline warning. Here in Missouri, we're fortunate that the state provides us with the NFHS officials manual when they publish them (every other year). Otherwise, without having this, I probably would've flagged him too.

So he thinks he's been hit with a USC. Before long, it is evident that in fact no distance will be applied, and that he has earned only a warning. The feeling he just had about costing his team real estate is only warranted if he is an idiot again. Could having experienced that feeling be called a deterance for futher inappropriate behavior?
