Are you paying that much attention to the coach and not the game, to see if he isn't saying something to his players? What if he was instructing his bench personnel and not those on the floor.
You'd have a hard time convincing your assigner that this was a legit foul call.
I'd like to be in the stands the first time you called this on a coach.

Uhh, the rule is 2.73 seconds after the behind leaves the chair.
Instructing players on the bench is fine. Look, it's not my rule, its the KS state rule and they want it enforced. We all do.
Give me a break. I said it 10 times already - lenient - used as a tool if he begins to target the refs. Something along these lines - "Stop or we will strictly enforce the rule." If still no improvement, then tell him to sit unless directly instructing the players. If still no improvement then a T the next time he demonstrably disputes a call. Then he sits for good.
