Guys,
For NFHS games the maximum is 14 feet. The 2001-02 Rules Book introduced this change. I don't even see a reference to the six-foot box any more.

Nevadaref,
I see references almost every game in Michigan.
They are painted on the floor.

Well, Mick,
That might be the only place that you see it, since according to the new wording of the rule, the coaching box may be any length between 0 and 14 feet. My point is that the standard six-foot box is gone. If schools wish to make them 9' 2" that is permissible.

Schools can't decide what size to make the coaching boxes. Only state associations can- i.e. the MHSSAA for Michigan. That was referred to in the 2001-02 rule change. Schools are only allowed to set the actual location of each team's bench.
