B-9 last night and partner and I were both astounded at some rules related comments from the 2 young coach's we had.

Question was raised: Are Coach's subject to any type of BB rules testing at all?

Examples:
No knowledge of 3-second count and player/team control
Interrupted dribble and over and back
Reaching OOB on a throw in
Running out of bounds unauthorized (2005 POI)

Coach's complained on proper application of each of these.

Last nites favorite: After aggressive howling on these misinterpretations, I gave "STOP" sign and said "Coach, thats enough".

Coach Response: "Whats the deal, I'm standing in the Box - I can say whatever I want too!"



In Va, It think they are only required to be at a mandatory VHSL clinic. I dont know if they are required to take a test or not. Of course, thats a 2 edge sword!
According to an individual from the VHSL office, the only requirement is for "someone" from the school to attend the clinic. It isn't required that each and every coach attend and actually doesn't have to be the coach. I think this usually falls to the most junior coach.
