When issueing a sideline warning do you throw the flag?

Just to let you know I did reference the rulebook. The rulebook only references NF. 9-8-1k which states Being outside the team box, but not on the field. It also says (See NF. 9-8-3) Which states A nonplayer shall not be outside his team box unless to become a player or to return as a replaced player. A maximum of three coaches may be in the coaches' area
You will learn to be creative on the field.

This past season I had a coach come to me saying, "I'm not going to talk to him again." What had happened was my umpire who is a really big guy had been yelled at by this coach. So, the umpire threw a sideline warning. Not the correct call but you get the message.
