Back to the OP, I've said this before and I'll probably say it again. Coaches are like kids. They need one warning, that's it. Because if you give them more than one warning, they push it. What did you say, "Coach, I'm warning you. . .if you stand up I may have to warn you again!" Probably not. No matter what the violation, no matter what the situation, if I have to give a warning for it, then the consequence comes the very next time. Otherwise you have no credibility. If you give more than one warning, they expect warnings to keep coming, and then rightfully get angry with you when you finally give the consequence. If you warned him once, he has nobody to blame but himself when he does it again.
