Are they coaching or cheering or are they talking at me or my partner(s)?

If they hadn't gotten it because of their own unsporting behavior or if they are coaching/cheering, I'd do just what I do to a wandering coach out of their box, "Coach where are you at?"

That usually gets that look down, oh crap reaction, with quick compliance.
Are you serious? You'd let a seatbelted coach wander around?

Lah me.....

Who cares how the coach got seatbelted? The only thing that matters is that he DID get seatbelted. Enforce the rule without making up lame excuses why you don't have to.
