When we worked our state game 2 years ago, neither coach said a word to us the entire game...and it was a 1-2 possession game the entire way through.

In Washington, some atrocious coach behavior (I heard two coaches confronted each other at the division line, though it was third-hand) drove an extreme emphasis on coach behavior and coaches' box enforcement this year.
