He doesn't get to threaten the other team by talking to his players. "Johnny, if he looks at you funny, take him out of the knees!" "Yes, Sensei."
I would say I don't care 95 percent of the time...he's not going to use a talk with his players as a back handed way to berate the officials, and I'll certainly take action for directing a player to commit an unsporting action.

I'd be a lot slower to take action about "obscenity" towards a player though.
