If they're on the field, they take the risk of being warned/flagged. We have one school in our area that is notorious for this problem.

I blew my whistle and issued a sideline warning. V Head Coach also happened to be on the sideline and went nuts, but the bottom line was, I didn't have any more problems from them the rest of the day, JV or V.
I spoke to one of the other JV Assistant Coaches and he said that he felt it was poor sideline management on my part. I pointed out to him that it served it's purpose as I didn't have anyone else on the field the rest of the day.
Given that it is a Point of Emphasis this year, I feel like you can't go wrong in whistling it the first time. It is JUST A WARNING and doesn't cost them a yard.

Should have told him if he thought so to call the state and see what they say. Here in Oklahoma the director of officials would probably laugh at him and tell him that it was superior sideline management.
