NC state office made it a POE this year. They hit the coaches with it at their clinic in the spring and threatened our playoff games if we didn't enforce it at our summer meeting. Most WH's cover it in pre-game conference now.
I think this is what it took. Before, if you tried to enforce it, you got the rep as a hard@$$. Now the state take the heat on it along with the taunting ejections.
What really helped the most was making the players stay back. The players push up so it pushes the coaches out and so on. Keep the players back and its easier to convince the coaches their workspace is ok.
I'm the first to admit I wasn't that strong on it. If they stay out of my way, I was fine. It has gone well this season. I had one team with about 10-12 coaches that I should have cracked down on and another team who had an assisstant that didn't seem to get the message everyone else got. I was trying to go easy on them as they're a small school who had lost every game and kicked about 10 players off for a "party" about a month earlier.
