All I am saying the rule states they must remain seated when the clock is running unless they are shout instructions to their players or applauding a spectacular play/effort.

Rook, I'm not trying to pile on, but it sounds to me that you don't really know all the aspects of the Head Coaches' Rule (10-5). The underlined part of what you wrote above is called "coaching"  and standing up to coach is not allowed unless your state has adopted the coaching box.
"Shouting instructions" and "applauding an outstanding play" are in two different categories. A coach is allowed to briefly stand for the latter even if your state has not adopted the coaching box. However, a coach may not rise for the former without benefit of a coaching box.
Take another look through 10-5, just to get more familiar with it.

Chuck, thanks, I understand it. I ran two scenerios together. The coach was not doing any of the three items listed under 10-5 coaches rule. I have a NOTE in my particular book which states: 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. The way I see it does not state he/she can continously stand within the confines of the box.

Rook, please talk to some of the
veteranos in your association before you take this too far. You're picking nits that don't need to be picked. Iow, chill. Technical fouls are basically divided into 2 types;procedural types like book errors and unsporting Ts. A coach just coaching is neither. Concentrate on the players on the floor. If you do the job there, you'll have a lot less problems with the coaches during your career.
