If you start managing the coaching box from the get-go (including mentioning it in the coaches pregame conference) it shouldn't be a problem. Coaches have been abusing the box because officials have let them (the old "if they aren't screaming at me, I don't care where they are" philosophy). You'll be suprised at how much better they behave when they know they are being watched rather than ignored. If you're keeping an eye on the box, you'll notice them when they start to push the boundaries of the box rather than ignoring them and then noticing them when they are 8-feet out.
