I believe how the stop sign is used is what instigates or defuses conflict.

I've seen officials put their hand directly in a coaches face while 2-4 feet apart... not good.

I've seen officials extend the stop sign toward a coach at mid-chest level... good.

Visually warning a coach & having it show up on tape is a good thing, as opposed to just a verbal warning. What happens when somebody on the crew sticks coach and they say "no one ever warned me"?
