Here we wait for the lines to be put down. When the 12X12 X rule went from shall from should. Wed wait for one to be put down before the game would start. We came out and did it as a board every time and after the fourth home game of the year we didnt have to say it too often because the schools knew it needed to be done.
Game management look at it this way, if the AD get upset hes in the corner of the gym for 32 minutes and you are 100% backed by the rules. Now you tell the coach they cant do something they have been allowed to do 13 games prior, something they have the right to do according to the rules. They are going to be upset on the sideline for 32 minutes and they are going to be 100% entitled to be that way.

Virginia is not doing that. No box, home coach sits and visiting coach can rome from the 28' line to the end of the bench.
