Are you sure that isn't the coach's fault and not the stop sign's fault?

There's no real real difference between a verbal final warning and a visual final warning imo. In both cases, we can't control what happens next. And in both cases we simply react to what happens next.

No, I'm not sure, but I know it hasn't worked for me. It's very possible I haven't used it correctly; but I've just had far greater success with my words.

Out of curiosity, I asked my dad how he would take it and his first thought was "that the official has had enough and I shouldn't push it any further." He's not a coach or official, but I thought it was interesting.

Some people are visual learners. Some people are auditory learners. Some people are kinesthetic learners. Unfortunately, I can't legally punch the coach in the mouth.
