If a coach is in his coaching box but basically standing with his toes on the sideline, then yes, along with many other factors that have already been stated, there is a potential for a SW. Another thing is that how many teams really have only 3 coaches in the box if I can't effectively do my job, though I'm more inclined to issue a SW when there are 6 or 7. Personally, I really don't care how many they have if 1) they're not constantly in my way, and 2) aren't *****ing all the time. When either of those start to occur, then I start to tighten up the rule a bit. The main thing in my opinion is that once the ball is live, there's not much they can do but watch so they need to be out of my way and field of vision, then during the dead-ball period, I'll stay out of there way within reason.
