SECTION 8 NONCONTACT UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT BY NONPLAYERS
ART. 1 No coach, substitute, trainer or other team attendant shall act in an unsportsmanlike manner once the officials assume authority for the contest. Examples are, but not limited to:
a. Using profanity, insulting or vulgar language or gestures.
NOTE: The NFHS disapproves of any form of taunting which is intended or designed to embarrass, ridicule or demean others under any circumstances including on the basis of race, religion, gender or national origin.
b. Attempting to influence a decision by an official.
c. Disrespectfully addressing an official.
d. Indicating objections to an official’s decision.
e. Using any illegal communication equipment as outlined in 1-5-3b and 1-6.
f. Holding an unauthorized conference.
NOTE: Between downs, communications between players and coaches near the sideline are not an unauthorized conference.
g. The failure of a team to be ready to start either half.
h. Failure of the head coach, following verification, to have his player(s) wear or use legal and/or required equipment.
i. Being on the field except as a substitute or replaced player. (See 3-7-6; 9-6-4a)
j. Using tobacco or smokeless tobacco.
k. Being outside the team box, but not on the field. (See 9-8-3)

ART. 2 Three attendants, none of whom is a coach, may enter the field to attend their team during a charged time-out or a TV/radio time-out, during the one-minute following a try, a successful field goal or safety, and prior to the succeeding free kick, between periods and during an official’s time-out for unusual heat and humidity. During a time-out for injury, the coach and/or such attendants as may be deemed necessary by the referee may, with permission, enter to attend the injured player(s). In no other case, except as in 2-6, shall any non-player other than an entering substitute enter without the referee’s permission.
ART. 3 A non-player shall not be outside his team box unless to become a player or to return as a replaced player. A maximum of three coaches may be in the coaches’ area.
PENALTY: Non-player fouls (Art. 1a through j) (S27), (S7-27) if dead ball 15 yards. Non-player foul (Art. 2) (S19) 5 yards, unless repeated or unsportsmanlike (S27) 15 yards. (Arts. 1k, 3) (S15) First offense-warning. (S7-29) Second offense 5 yards, each subsequent offense (S7-29-27) 15 yards. (Art. 1) (S27-47) 15 yards and disqualification. (Arts. 1, 2, 3) Any single flagrant foul is disqualification. A second unsportsmanlike foul with a 15-yard penalty results in disqualification. (See 9-5 Pen) A disqualified member of the coaching staff shall be ejected from the stadium area and be prohibited from any further contact, direct or indirect, with his team during the remainder of the game. For failure to comply, the referee may forfeit the game.

I didn't warn him, they got a 5 yarder for their 2nd sideline violation. I thought it was the right thing to do as he got the point.
