So even though a coach kept you from properly officiating the play, all you can have is a 15-yard succeeding spot UC. And while I certainly don't like punishing the players for an egregious act on the coach's part, succeeding spot fouls sometimes just don't have enough 'punch' so to speak to have a deterring effect.

Now having said that, the penalty for 9-8 fouls (including this one) states that if any foul is flagrant, DQ is an option. Do you DQ a coach for being inside the numbers during play? That's pretty flagrant--and dangerous--but do you toss him? By rule, you can--but would you?

Fed doesn't have a sideline warning for exactly this?
