rules committee clearly states, they do not find it unreasonable for a player to return to the dressing room to change jersey in the case of having blood on the uniform. All other is fair game.

Changed the wording:
So it is not unreasonable to return to the dressing room, but not required to return to the dressing room? Personally I do not feel I should call a T if a player changes his/her bloody jersey courtside, but if the rule tells me to I will.
What is the coaching box actually defined as?

Well, if you inform the player before they change, that he/she should change in the dressing room, then you had used sound game management preventing from issuing a T. Base your actions of the players intent, right? Was he/she purposely removing their clothing, exposing skin/underwear unappr0prialty and deliberately?
Per your NFHS Basketball Rule Book; Rule 1-13-2, page 16: The coaching box shall be outlined outside the side of the court on which the scorer's and timer's table and team benches are located. The area shall be bounded by a line 28 feet from the end line, the sideline, an line no more than 14 feet from the 28-foot line toward the end line, and the team bench. These lines shall be located off the court, be 2 inches wide.
Note: By state association adoption, the head coach may be off the bench in front of his/her seat within the confines of the designated coaching box to give instructions to his/her players and/or substitutes. State associations may alter the placement of the 14-foot (maximum) coaching box.
This is a State's option to utilize a coaching box and so is the mercy rule.
Ok?
