Going off of what Lorebass said, what about something like this:
While in game it would appear as a goblin head not behind bars:
And once the coach is banned after "arguing the Call", the icon would change to being behind bars:
Images to appear after approval.
I can already see the issue of dark colored "bars" blending in with the stone background. The bars may be recolored, perhaps bronze to help them stand out.
Thoughts? |

You could try a brighter color like... white/lightgrey/beige or something for the bars? Not sure... it's very subtle. |

Instead of bars it could be a red circle with a diagonal line through it - like a No Smoking sign |

WhatBall's resource icons (ReRoll, Wizard etc.) all have a slight "glow" to them (a blured white outline) to help them stand out against the stone background.
I think less and thicker bars would be better for the goblin head, or ramchop's suggestion (red circle, diagonal line). |

I assume we're going with an icon for a banned coach appearing rather than just "coach icon that disappears if banned" is because with a banned icon the mouseover can pop-up "-1 penalty to brilliant coaching"?
Also avoids the issue of the "away" side of the toolbar becoming too crowded (with spectator and weather icons already there) until the coach is actually sent off. |

This was my intention, yes. |

It needs some additional work, including the inner "glow" effect, and a little more sharpening and resizing. AD makes a good point about not running into the other icons on the "Away" side of the client.
It looks very "Ghostbusters." I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. |

Why a Goblin icon to represent the coach?
It's fitting for a Goblin team, but not for other races. |

Just ideas Matt, a ref's whistle, scales of justice or a judge's gavel could work too?
[edit]
and have better centering, and as a neutral option?
[edit2] smaller whistle:
tiny whistle!: |

Hi Kalimar! Good to see you around and still developing the client.
Maybe you could put together a little developer's blog to keep the crowd up to date with your work.

We're all goblins in our hears. I kinda like the banned goblin thingy better than the whistle. |

It's mostly goblins that are going to argue the call anyway |
