That is not a difference, as the coaching box is a state adoption "optional" rule. [/B]

While it is true it is an optional rule, PA does not allow coaches to stand except to:
1. Call a time out
2. Go to scorers table to request an error to be corrected
3. Enter the court when beckoned by an official
Those events are a subset of the situations outlined by the NFHS for when a coach may stand when the "seatbelt" rule is in effect for coaches.
It is also my understanding that only one other state uses the seatbelt rule, I think Michigan, but I am not 100% sure of that.
