I have to say however, that the sidelines are the coach's best friend. Keep him on the sideline and out of earshot--that saves coaches many USCs.

That reminds me of a game a few years ago. Visiting team was losing in the closing minutes, and their HC was in the ear of an official. The official didn't even turn around for a good while, but the HC must have said a magic word. The official calmly turned around, took the flag out of his pocket, and dropped it right at the coach's feet. He then turned back around and walked to the referee to give his call. The HC went ballistic and started to march after him but an assistant held him back.
To me, if a coach got a second USC like that, that would be enough for an ejection. In rare cases, like an above post, some things said warrant an automatic ejection. But otherwise, if they didn't learn after the first flag, it may be time for an early exit.
