Do you really see that as a problem? I have done games from teams in Iowa and Wisconsin and they did not have a coaching box the same as the IHSA and they functioned. I have never had a problem with a state deciding they want to do something specific to their state. Whether it is rules or mechanics that is up to them to decide what is going to be used or ignored. We have a mercy rule that applies to our games. It is not listed in the rulebook and the parameters and application are not listed anywhere. But guess what is going to happen when other states come in a play a basketball game. They will adhere to this rule unless otherwise stated.
