I have had coaches who do not argue about the loss of the coaching box and they do attempt to live with the letter of the law and the spirit of the rule. Sometimes they just forget themselves and they need a gentle reminder.

In your case, I believe that since he came close to getting a second one by disagreeing with you in manner that could have been described as unsportsmanlike. I would have handled him in this manner. I would not have gone looking for him to be off the bench. BUT, in the normanl course of officiating the game I would have T'd him up the first time I saw him off the bench when he was not suppposed to be and I would have hoped the my partner would have seen him first and beat me to the T.
