The 28' coaching box which we usually describe, only applies to courts 84' or longer. If the court is shorter, then the coaching box is marked 14' from the division line, and extends to the endline from there.
*1.13.2 SITUATION C:
Officials arrive at a contest with a court length of less than 84 feet. There are no lines on the floor for the coaching box. Where should the coaching box be marked?
RULING: On a court of less than 84 feet, the coaching box should be marked from the division line 14 feet toward the end line. The coaching box will extend from that mark toward the end line based on the state association's permitted coaching box length. In this case, because the court is not 84 feet, the box may be shorter than 28 feet
