Was at the Rules Interp at Stevenson last night (Stevenson's Boys Varsity Coach was there too). Anyway, the rationale for keeping it for the early season tourneys was just to keep the games on schedule.

We were also told that if the Coaches' Box is not marked on the floor, it didn't exist. If they want to use tape to mark it, that's fine, but if it isn't there the coaches get to sit. We were also told not to mark it ourselves "if we don't have time". If we're there 15 minutes before game time, go ahead and help out, but don't go to the captains meeting and then hurry to mark the floor. Just tell them that without markings, no box. If they hurry up and get it done before game time, that's cool.
