Yeah, after reading the casebook play, I figured it was something like that. I just don't like the capriciousness of it being up to the timer whether or not the coach loses his box.
If the timer is talking to someone for 15 secs at the end of the half and then starts the intermission clock, no indirect, but if he punches it right away and then chats, the coach sits.
BTW the official did not charge it indirectly to the coach in this incident.
