Well, I'm a coach and I'm fine with it (as long as if this coach gets a "T", he abides by the same rules - he removes himself from the bench and can't coach - what's good for the goose...).
Frederick County, MD requires if a player get's 2 grades below a 70, that they sit out indefinitely until both grades are above 70... I've made it tougher - if you have any grades below an 80, you sit out 1 game - below a 75, you sit indefinitely until all grades are 80 and above. Also, my girls are required to do 2 community service projects that I decide... Parents didn't like it when I told them about this - considering it costs them money for their girls to play (U-15 AAU), so I told them to make sure that their girls do well in school - or they don't play - although I want all my girls to go on to be college and pro-stars, I feel it is my responsibility to prepare them for the fact that most of them won't... Athletics is such an easy way to push kids to be there best (in life - not just athletics).
