Early word on rule changes for next year should help.
"Starting in 2010 the restricted area will be surrounded with the INVISIBLE FENCE tm system. Coaches will be outfitted with a battery powered collar. At the beginning of the game the collar will be set on the lowest setting. The system is activated by the ready for play whistle and deactivated by the whistle ending the down. Each time the coach is in the restricted area he will receive a safe but painful electrical shock to the neck. With each violation the setting is increased one level. If the coach reaches the maximum setting on the collar, it will be removed and attached to the body part of the officials' choice." NFHS Rules Committee-2009
