What the coach did, while juvenile and idiotic, was nowhere near as disrespectful as the antics she pulled to earn the yellow card. If those antics weren't worthy of skipping a sanction level, sitting on the floor wouldn't be either.

I am in no way saying that her actions were not worthy of a sanction. In fact, once she sat down like that, red would have been pulled instantly since she had already received yellow, but it was by no means severe or major enough to justify skipping a sanction level in my opinion.

Coaches try to show officials up far more often than you think, but that doesn't necessarily make it something automatically worthy of a disqualification.
