I've seen on here before that it was a point of emphasis but I haven't seen it even warned in our area. Which makes me curious, how are the POE's handled? Are they determined nationally and then sort of reemphasized regionally? [/B][/QUOTE]Yes, POE's are determined by the NFHS Rules Committee, which is a national body. They then can be further re-emphasisized regionally. This particular POE states that it's an
immediate "T" if a coach wanders out of his box, with no warning required. Thatr's as per the written rule. Some states, examples-Illinois and MASS, I think- have issued directives that
one warning should be issued to a coach who is out of their box, and the next occurrence is a "T". Iirc, someone from Illinois also posted that their state governing body said that officials who wouldn't call that "T" as directed would
not get year-end playoff games.
And, as I stated above, it makes no difference if you're out of the box coaching or whining either. They're supposed to be treated the same.
If it's not being called in your area, that's fine. If you go out of your area for a game and you get called, you know why.
