A yellow card can be for a player of for the coach. When it is for the player, it is because they have been very unsportsman like. They could have yelled at a player on the opposite side of the court, or they could have yelled at the referee. If the coach gets a yellow card, it is because they have yelled at the referee. When a player or a coach gets a yellow card, the other team gets points added to their score.

coaches and players can get yellow cards for misconduct. it is a warning, and if you get two yellow cards it has the same effect of a red card, and you are asked to leave the pool deck.

Bench Conduct-
Yellow card can be awarded to the head coach, the bench collectively, or a player in the water (only one person per team in the water). Assistant coaches and individual players do NOT get yellow cards and are liable to skip to reds depending on the severity of their actions.
Yellow cards in the water- In NCAA and FINA, the rules on Yellow cards are for simulation and actions leading up to possible misconducts. For example, if a player consistently fakes a foul for 3 possessions in a row, they may receive a yellow card for persistent simulation (aka flopping). Should another person from that team do that action persistently, that person will get a misconduct (exclusion with substitution).
Red Cards- In NCAA, NFHS, and FINA the Red card means that person has to leave the immediate playing field and can no longer partake in that game and must leave the bench. In the 3 jurisdictions, the offending person will get at LEAST a one game suspension. In FINA, do not be confused with a person in the water getting a misconduct red card (which is a circular hand motion with a red card in hand) which means that person may no longer partake in the game and must leave the team area ( no suspensions are carried AKA exclusion with substitution and may play next game). From there, if a player does something else to warrant a Red card, a Red card may be awarded (Upgraded from Misconduct to red card) which will give them a one game suspension.
