We got the word at our rules meeting that our state HS association wants us to crack down on abuse of the coaching box privileges by coaches - part of the emphasis on bench decorum.
Basically:
1. First time they clearly violate the box they get a verbal warning
3. 2nd time they get a "T" and lose use of the box.
It was also made crystal clear that the coaching box is for coaching only. Any yelling, arguing, etc. is not appropriate use & should be penalized.
The coaches all know this as it was clearly stated at their mandatory rules meeting.....I can see the selective memory issues now - could get real interesting!
I already put the Verbal Judo book on my Christmas wish list......might come in handy!
