Had my first real game today (no more intramurals - hurrah!) - a good Jr. High Boys' Varsity game. Visitors won by 2 points, with home team taking a last second shot (it was late and it missed, so no debate there.)

Anyways, I had a technical foul on the visiting coach but (due to my years of reffing IM ball) forgot that loss of the coaching box was part of the penalty. I didn't realize until I looked over about 5 minutes later and thought "hmm - shouldn't he be sitting down after the T?"

I let it go, and didn't have him sit, and now I'm looking for a bit of advice. Would you tell the coach to sit down (even though you had forgotten for several minutes) and, if so, how would you recommend doing it?

I'd probably just mention it to him the next time down the court. Try not to make a scene about it.
