Hell, I'd rather enforce the hell out of it in the pre-season. YOu let em get away with it now, he'll think he can get away with it later, no matter WHAT you told him at the time. He'll still break loose wih, "But last time..." on the next crew. Sit his @$$ down!!

I think we need a feeling for what "pre-season" here is. If it's a scrimmage, coaches, at least in my area, are permitted to walk all around the court to help their kids. IMO, that's what scrimmages are for. If a coach gets out of hand, then it's taken care of, but I have never give a coach, nor have I ever heard of a coach being given, a technical foul in a scrimmage.
If this is a regular season, but non-conference game, then absolutely it's enforced. Sit his @$$ down.

I not sure I understand why in an HS scrimmage a coach needs to be walking allover the court. That is what practice is for. I dont know how it is in other places but the HS varsity coaches here coach these scrimmages with the same intensity as the regular season. There is just a lot more instruction.
I also dont understand the logic behind Officiating scrimmages or preseason tournaments differently then any other game. I approach all games with the same professionalism. I feel you are doing a disservice to the players and coaches if you dont. If a coach is doing something unsportsmanlike it should be handled accordingly. I have never given a T in a scrimmage but if I had to I would. And I do know of officials who have.
