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.

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 to change a bloody jersey, but if the rule tells me to I will.
What is the coaching box actually defined as?

I do not think you would call a "T" just because of blood on a jersey and it needs to be changed. A "T" is used when a player deliberately removes his/her jersey while on the court, such as showing you up with acts of unsporting behavior or showing off his/her undies/boxers for the crowd. It is a judgment call based on the rules and pre-game conference with your partner. The solution when a player has blood on jersey or needs to change, would direct the player to change in a dressing room or away from the view of others, right?
Contact your association. Each has their own guidelines, just like some states allow a mercy rule with conditions while others have not adopted the mercy rule.

You said earlier,"I agree with yours and JRutledge replies. I just do not understand why so many basketball official's can not comprehend the NFHS rule book and why do so many of us try to re-write or interpret the rules to their own thought process."
So which is it?

NFHS rule 1-1.

You must have a different rule book, 1-1 is court dimensions in my rule book.
