We had a coach who came at my partner at halftime while we were standing at midcourt. The guy is a newer/greener official than me and I stepped in and walked the coach away and essentially told him to get to the locker room.
At halftime, I had a chat with a D-I official who happens to work at the school. He asked me if I had specifically warned the coach. I hadn't. Perhaps it would've been a useful thing -- at the time I was most interested in getting him away from my partner (who made a great call, BTW) and to the locker room so we could clear out ourselves.
I'm not a big fan of phrases like "you've been warned" or "this is your warning" but I know that different areas and different levels have requirements and you should just go with what's done locally.
