Telling the coach to sit down was not the right response. The problem is not that the coach is standing, it is what he is doing while he is standing. Address the behavior that is wrong, and if it doesn't stop, you T him and then tell him he has to sit.
I have seen this done by refs as well (never to me cause I don't really say much to them). Don't like it, and it seems like a way to avoid addressing the actual problem, which is the coach's inability to exercise self control.
