When you give an official warning, you let the everyone know and make a big production about having it noted in the official scorebook. Coaches have so much power in this state - I'm guessing this is something that was done to help coaches from getting Ts.

For what it's worth, I'm very lenient with coaches who kneel or tend to step a foot or so onto the court. A lot of times there just isn't a whole lot of room between the chairs and the court and I do my best to work with them. Especially if they're just coaching.
