I noticed that. It's disappointing. Being a referee is far more a mental challenge than physical one, and game management is job one. I would hope I'd catch the coach not heading to his team (inside the hashmarks, of course) and direct him there immediately.
Another thing -- I'd rather the coach be angry at ME than the guy standing on his sideline the entire game. I'm in the middle of the field and can ignore the coach for the most part. And it's easier for the wing to control the sidelines if he hasn't had a confrontation with the coach.
