In the pre-game meeting the only thing I say to coaches other than "my name and good luck" is "if you are going to be up and about, please stay in that area" as I gesture to the box or something to that effect.

Had to constantly remind one coach to stay in the box one game and his excuse was that he would be blocking his assistants' view.

I only consistantly have a problem with it at the local AAU venue.
