With all due respect to Nevadaref, I would take the course of action laid out by BITS.

Fixed it for ya.

I agree if he's been a jerk it is an easy call but if not, what is wrong with walking over to him and walking him back to the box as you remind him about the coaching box. I've seen it done and it works. Then further action is easy because he knows you're in control on the court.

I agree. If the coach was being an a$$ most of the game, and since he'd been warned previously then I'd whack him. Or if he came onto the court to give you a piece of his mind over a call you just made, ditto. But if he's just coaching his kids (maybe since it's a close game the crowd is loud and it's tough to hear in the gym), then I remind him he needs to stay in the coaching box. If you T him here, then you pretty much have to call everything else by the book: 3 seconds, defender breaks the throw-in plane with a fingertip, etc...

You'd absolutely have just cause, but I think common sense has to come into play. You're penalizing his kids in a close game, for probably nothing more than a momentary slip of the mind that had no bearing on you or the game.
