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.

You sound so convinced, so confident.
In Michigan's Fed handout (
Official Publication of the NFHS - Basketball Guide '04-05) it is written:
2004-05 BASKETBALL BENCH DECORUM OPTION [pg.15]
"Schools, by contract or league adoption during regular season boys and girls games at the junior high/middle school and high school levels, may use the six-foot coaching box as described in National Federation Basketball Rules, effective 1996-97.
...The coaching box has been approved for ALL MHSAA District, Regional, and Final Tournaments if coaches desire to use it."
