A proposal was actually submitted to the NFHS in April to require markings on the playing court, but it did not pass. The committee expressed concern about placing an added financial burden on schools.
We've got a lot of high schools and middle schools that still don't have coaching boxes marked.
Connecticut has a Connecticut only rule:
Coaching boxes must be marked, if not, home team will lose the coaching box, visiting team will have the coaching box, notify commissioner.
Nobody enforces it.
Nobody wants to tell the home coach that they have to sit while the visiting coach gets to stand.
Nobody wants to start a game that way.
Not a great way to build good rapport with a coach.
Great way to piss off a coach with thirty-two minutes left in the game.
