2) How strictly is it enforced?
3) Do you ever earn back the right to the box?
4) Is the assisntant coach then allowed the box or is it a head coaching box only?

1)You have to pick a seat and keep your butt in it, except that you can stand up to call a time-out, applaud a good play but you then have to sit right back down, replace disqualified players or go to the scorer's table to get an error rectified.
2) It seems to be strictly enforced in most states now, from what I've heard. Bench conduct was a Point of Emphasis in the rule book this year, and most states are instructing their officials that they want this called per the POE. There seems to be a deep concern out there about the antics of some coaches, and the general consensus was that officials as a whole were letting coaches get away with way too much.
3) No.
4) Assistant coaches NEVER have the right to stand while play is going on- for any reason. Ever.
