Sideline Warning/Sideline Interference

[Forksref]

We don't use it for coaches who are yelling at us. I don't believe that is the intent of the rule. We have been using it more frequently lately for coaches who come onto the field during a live ball. This is a safety issue and I love the SLW because we throw a flag and it gets everyone's attention. When the coaches see that there is a flag and then there is no yardage, they are relieved and believe me we have never had a second flag in the game for that reason. If one of my wings throws a flag for that reason, he is entitled to the first free beverage after the game. It truly makes it easier to handle the sideline after the flag is thrown and that includes less yelling.
