I recently went to our state rules meeting here in VA, and we received the same directive from the top as well. This was the first time they had specifically told us to give a warning to coaches outside the box. We were told to do it for coaches outside the box who are coaching, not berating officials.

It resulted in the same reaction from officials that I have read thus far on this board. My guess is that the enforcement of the box will still continue to be pretty inconsistent from association to association. In VA, the coaches are at the same meeting, so at least they can't claim they didn't know about it!
