The coaching box is for coaching. It is not for evaluating or berating officials. Coaches are not officiating clinicians. Those actions should get a T-bone everytime whether he is in the box or out.

The general concensus in our area is if he is near his box and coaching, never mind.

Many of the gyms I work in are quite small. One in particular, the players have to consciously keep their feet under their chairs to keep them off the floor - hey! we don't have the gym this year. They got new facilities.

However, in that gym the coach would regularly be on the court. There is no other place for him to be if he is not in his chair. This again was not penalized as long as he was not interfering with the play/activity and was coaching.

We are not there to penalize reasonable activities. The T-bone is for gross, intentional, abuses.
