How would you guys handle that situation, a coach following the letter of the law (mostly) but not really the intent?
This is wholly inappropriate conduct, but I'm not sure I have any tools to address it. The rule says he must be seated. One option would be an unsporting T, I suppose, but it would be a stretch.

One thing's for certain, it would certainly warrant a report to the governing authorities and my assigner (if applicable.)
