Tommy,
You need to rethink this one. Do you always penalize unsporting behavior the 2nd time it happens? Do you allow each team to act up once before being penalized? Telling the coach what you could have done, but aren't doing is a really poor idea. He is going to wonder what else you are doing or have done during the game that isn't right.
I think that you should penalize unsporting conduct when it occurs.

I know this is a different situation then the one stated but overall I'm trying to say if it fits issue it if it doesn't why get yourself into trouble.

The ACC situation was for water on the court following a time-out and a previous warning had been given. The ACC coordinator was roundly criticized for not backing his official. The official had been instructed to make that call and did his job, then they threw him under the bus. If I recall he went deep into the NCAA tournament that season. Elite 8, I believe.
