Correct. From the "Officials Manual":

B. Warnings for Behavior:
1. Though no provision provides for this in the rules book, many officials
issue warnings to coaches and players for behavior that is not egregious
(not warranting a technical foul), yet is inappropriate and must
be addressed.
2. Because there is no provision in the rules book for a behavioral warning,
officials should obtain guidance from their state high school association
regarding this issue.
3. Warnings must be issued professionally and in a conversational tone
with the offender. Raising your voice further antagonizes the situation
and the person you are trying to address. The official must be the voice
of reason and keep the situation under control.
4. A warning of this nature is typically given verbally (“This is your warning
coach”) and visually (holding up the one-handed “stop sign”).
5. Only one warning should be given to an individual, per game.
Therefore, communicate with your partners at the first appropriate
opportunity that a warning has been issued. If the behavior continues,
issue the appropriate penalty immediately.
6. These types of warnings are not documented in the scorebook.

Your state may have different directives. Our state has its "Officials Guidebook" available online. Check with whatever state resources you might have available to you.
