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"?

This one's easy enough.

"No warning is required for unsporting behavior, Coach."
