I don't know. I've never even thought to do it. But it seems to me to be a pretty good warning in itself, and the coach gets a bit of a penalty on top of it, instead of just a verbal slap on the wrist.

I don't want to throw a coach out for standing and coaching. I just don't. If this is a more effective tool at keeping the coach on the bench, and allows me to NOT toss the coach, then I like it. In my experience, the verbal warning does nothing. They sit down and then forget and stand up. So if I send a stronger warning without tossing, I'm all for it. Now, if they ignore that friendly warning, then they seal their own fate.
