I agree. As a referee who has whacked a coach after buzzer has sounded, it is effective. The coach had a tournament the next day and had to sit out his game (they were hosting and the one I gave him at the end of the game was #2). Now the coach is "my best friend". Not because I whacked him and he had to sit out, but because I knew the rules. He didn't and called eveybody but the pope to find out if I was correct in my judgement. I was, he sat and I get an extra christmas card every year!
But seriously, most coaches know when they are out of line and how you deal with them goes a long way as to how they treat you in the future. Professionalism goes a long way to creating harmony among us.
