Oh wow, if there isn't one marked and they don't have tape (I don't bring tape) - there is NO coaching box. When I walk on the floor and don't see one (usually upon entering the gym) I will say "Since I don't see a box marked I am assuming we are NOT using the coaches box tonight." It's amazing how quickly they put one down. I tend to be a jerk about that and shirts untucked. I mention that in pregame and tell them that this is their warning. If they show up at the table and don't have it tucked in before they are beckoned, I escort them back to the bench. One time and you have no more problems the rest of the night. I promise!
