So really, the T against the HC had nothing to do with the scenario. AC has no business standing. Directing the AC to be seated was the appropriate action by the OP, whether a T had been called earlier or not.

Let's say though that the outcome of the game is in doubt, does that change what you would do?

I would of handled the situation exactly as you did regardless of how close the score was. This is assuming the AC was not argumentative and sat down immediately.

I phrase the warning as, "you need to stay seated," or "you can't be standing," so that if there's an issue later I can address it.

That is, I won't give an AC more than one warning, so I want the warning to be perfectly clear.
