I've had several different responses. Some saying home coach must sit, some say both sit (no box), some say that game shouldnt start w/out box, etc... Is this a state by state issue or is there an overaching rule provided for by the rule book. [/B][/QUOTE]Rule 10-5-1 sez that a head coach may only be off their seat "within the confines of the designated coaching box". If there is no designated coaching box, then they can't be off the bench except for the exceptions listed. The FED posted something clarifying that, but R10-5-1 is good enough anyway.

If you don't have a box, you can't enforce a coaching box rule.
