I am a huge fan of the stop sign at the high school and college level (I work women's basketball) and the stop sign and a verbal warning are usually required. As well as actually putting the warning in the book at your first opportunity. I think it gives the coach a chance (if they want to) to cool down with a warning as we are trying to defuse the situation without using a technical foul. I have also had coaches tell me thank you for not whacking me and just giving me a warning on that play...I lost my head for a moment. Some coaches are going to run right through the stop sign and get whacked...but at least I tried to bring them back down. Also, you must always notified your partners at the first opportunity that the coach has been warned.
