Coaching Box Question

[Jurassic Referee]

Anyways, I had a technical foul on the visiting coach but (due to my years of reffing IM ball) forgot that loss of the coaching box was part of the penalty. I didn't realize until I looked over about 5 minutes later and thought "hmm - shouldn't he be sitting down after the T?"

I let it go, and didn't have him sit, and now I'm looking for a bit of advice. Would you tell the coach to sit down (even though you had forgotten for several minutes) and, if so, how would you recommend doing it?

AS soon as I noticed the coach was up wandering, I'd tell him. Wait for a break in the action, go over to him and quietly say "Coach, you lost the right to stand when you got your "T". You'll have to sit during play and stay sitting."

You never know when someone (evaluator) is watching you either, Mark.
