And you could care less if they are out of their box as long as they arent yelling at you, right?

Good point, T. I do "care" what the coach is yelling at his players, although 99% of the time it doesn't matter.

He doesn't get to denigrate the officials while he talks to his players. "I wasn't talking to you."

He doesn't get to use obsenity towards his players.

He doesn't get to threaten the other team by talking to his players. "Johnny, if he looks at you funny, take him out of the knees!" "Yes, Sensei."

I would say I don't care 95 percent of the time...he's not going to use a talk with his players as a back handed way to berate the officials, and I'll certainly take action for directing a player to commit an unsporting action.

I'd be a lot slower to take action about "obscenity" towards a player though.

Depends on the setting, volume & the word...

Agreed. We've been told specifically that talking to his players is not an excuse for using obsenities; but I have yet to need to enforce this. The bar is pretty high, IMO.
