I actually was using it as a tactic to try to draw more out of him. It worked, just not how I would've liked.
There was once this mindset that the coaching box should only be used when a coach is actively coaching -- otherwise he shouldn't be up and about.
Frankly, I found that idiotic. It implied that I'm supposed to care why a coach is up out of his seat and I simply don't have time or the inclination to do that and also work the game at the same time. He has a 14' box here and he can do whatever he likes in it -- if he's unsportsmanlike, we have other rules that cover that. If he's out of the box? Then I care more about what he's doing. I'll admit that a coach who's coaching while a bit out of the box doesn't bother me a bit unless my bosses tell me to handle that.
Our lower levels used to have a seat belt rule and I think there were more instances of a coach acting up because of the "bottling up" effect that being forced to sit caused.
