Poor idea IMO. If one needs to "drive my point home" then a T should be charged. All that people are doing by creating a warning which doesn't exist is 1) letting the first instance of unsporting behavior go unpenalized and 2) creating the expectation that a formal warning will be given prior to a T being charged.
At the college level with coaches making 7 figures, the expectations may well be different, but that is not the case at the HS level and your colleague is doing a disservice to the HS game and other HS officials in the area.
