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.
Agree completely. Warn the coach to quit yapping at you,if that's what he's doing,then T him up if he doesn't listen to that warning. If he's coaching,let him coach.

The T is for unsportsmanlike behavior,not standing(unless he's already been charged with one and he's been seatbelted).
