Here's my take. First of all, I have talked to coaches on many occasions about staying in the box (here in Iowa, it's not a factor in boys as they have to stay seated). I think the formal warning gets away from the fact that the NFHS has this as a POE. If it is a POE they obviously want it enforced. I don't think giving coaches more rope with which to hang themselves is going to help the problem. I think it would be better if officials called the T whenever called for early in the season and the coaches will get the message. As they say, give them an inch and they'll take a mile.
