The coaches box was designed to allow the coach some freedom of movement to consult with his team during play. In our counference we have several coaches that act like they are on roller skates the entire game. The purpose of the coaches box is not to give them a designated spot to rip an official a new one.
Anyway, here's how I see it
Finally my partner tells the coach he has heard enough.
(First Warning)
Coach keeps going with his mouth. Partner says he has heard enough sit down.
(Second Warning, [must be a nice guy])
Well coach response is you cann't tell me to sit down! Partner T him up.
(Coach is being disrespectful, WHACK)
The coaches job is to direct his teams activity. period! nowhere in the job description does it say he has a right to complain to the officials. Granted a professional inquiry is always welcome, but an inquiry and criticism are two totally different things.
As for making him sit without a "T" I don't think so, but the sign and the comment is fair warning to change his or her behavior right quick. The coaches know what the "stop sign" means, they know what it means when an official says "sit down coach!" The Official shouldn't have to justify himself to the coach in this situation. The coach is distracting the official from doing his job. Warn em' and whack em'
