(2). They violate during game they issue another warning about the box. I was asking do they identify that one in the book as an official warning.

No, officials do not identify it as an "official" warning....mainly because the rules don't allow it to be handled that way. Our officials are simply expected to state to the coach that his assistant is not supposed to be on his feet, and that another warning will not be given. It is expected that all of our officials would then follow-up on the warning and issue the "T".
Rook, the whole idea of us setting that procedure out is so discussions exactly the same as this one will
not take place. All officials know what is expected of them. The rules are administered evenly, consistently and fairly. All head and assistant coaches know
exactly what they can do or not do. The FED POE's get followed.
Iow, it's really no different than most other calls imo. If you can get all your officials calling it the same way, then nobody should have any complaints....head coaches, assistant coaches, other officials. Of course, in real life, you're always gonna get an official that doesn't
personally agree with our instructions, and he's gonna do his own thing, no matter what. That just hurts the majority imo.
The whole idea is to try and get it called uniformly and consistently by everybody in a particular area. Does that make sense?
