Another Question About The New Warning Rule ...
2017-18 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations
SITUATION 14: During a live ball, the assistant coach is off the bench and out of the coaching box giving instructions to a player on the court. RULING: The official should rule a technical on the assistant coach for being off the bench and out of the coaching box. (4-48)
Why is this a technical foul and not a written warning?
The new rule regarding bench personnel states that the written warning applies to 10-5, Articles 1 a,b,d,e,f; Article 2; and Article 4.
Article 1a: Bench personnel shall not disrespectfully address an official.
Article 1b: Bench personnel shall not attempt to influence an official's decision.
Article 1d: Bench personnel shall not disrespectfully address, bait, or taunt an opponent.
Article 1e: Bench personnel shall not object to an official's decision by rising for the bench and using gestures.
Article 1f: Bench personnel shall not incite undesirable crown reactions.
Article 2: Bench personnel shall not enter the court unless by permission of an official to tend to an inured payer.
Article 4: Bench personnel shall not stand at the team bench while the clock is running or is stopped, and must remain seated (with exceptions: head coach, team member reports to table, timeout and intermissions, spontaneously react to outstanding play or acknowledge replaced players).
Is it because the assistant coach (bench personnel) is out of the coaching box, which probably means that he's in front of the scorer's table? If the assistant coach had just been standing in front of the team bench, this would just be a written warning? Right?
