In all honesty, my response to the coach when he complained that I hadn't warned him would have been, "Coach, the warning to your player was a courtesy not required by rule."
I am not a fan of going to coaches and telling them things they can see. If I am talking to one of their players they should have some idea that their kid is under some kind of notice.

I personally think we do way too much talking to coaches about things we do not have to. I do not have to explain anything; we do that out of courtesy. If a player violates the rule, it is up to use to enforce it or find another way. Coaches should know the rules so they are not surprised when they are penalized.
