And if anything, the warning stuff loosens the standards for unsportsmanlike behavior from the sideline rather than tightening them up.

These are the most impactful and sensible changes the NFHS has made in years, absent the jersey stuff. The expanded box really has nothing to do with us except it means we get to do less policing of where the coach is standing along the sideline. The official warnings are a codified game management tool that a lot of good officials were already using, anyway, so I don't see how it loosens any standards. And two-hand reporting has been overdue; FED mechanics was the only set still requiring one hand until now.
