Sideline warning (1st) procedure.
How we do it over here: Wing official blows his whistle (prior to the snap), throws flag and gives sideline warning signal (#15) while facing the offending coaches box. Referee will then repeat the signal while facing the press box and point to the offending team. If he uses a microphone he will also explain the call at that time. Wing official will explain the warning to the coach.
