"You HAVE to give a warning to the HC" is ridiculous, but if you're able to, why not?

Never said you shouldn't give a warning, or that using a quick word to the HC was not good game management. Was simply responding to another poster who took the OP to task for not issuing a warning first. Like I said, all coaches on that bench know what they can and cannot do - if one of those coaches chooses to be a PITA, then they know what the result will be. Giving someone a low evaluation because they didn't warn an AC that was running his/her mouth is ridiculous.
