I'm of the opinion if we would properly apply the unsporing conduct rule to coaches, this would all take care of itself. I recently had a game involving a school that has a coach that can be a problem at times. During pre game, one of my partners said, "If he starts getting after us tonight, the first thing I'm going to do is put him back in the box." I said, "And then you're going to let him get after us from there?"
I'm pretty diplomatic when it comes to dealing with coaches, but I also assess my share of T's when it comes to unsporting behavior. Just cause they're in the coaching box doesn't give them a pass to act in an unsporting manner. The last T I gave a coach, he was in stomping down the sideline reading me the riot act for something I hadn't even done. And he was in the box while doing so.
