wow nevada way to be an a$$ -- one has nothing to do with the other. I spend 99% of my time focusing on the game and managing that. wether a coach has 6 feet to move around or 20 it is my job to manage him. Placing a restriction like that just doesnt fall under my list of top priorities and in life we only have so much time to accomplish so many things that we have to prioritize. JMO -- but 6 feet is just a random number that some guy or gal came up with -- the real issue is can you manage the coach in that space and if you can then I guarantee you can manage him in a 10 foot box.
The games I have worked the coaches have never abused the bench or the box and it has neve been an issue. If a coach is standing 1 foot out of the box or even 2 or 3 and hes just coaching and not being a jackass I DO NOT CARE. I have more pressing issues in a game than to even have to metion to a coach about the coaches box -- COACHES believe it or not know about how they should be and where they should be on the bench (for the most part -- the lower levels need a bit of work) but by the time you are at the varsity level a coach knows where he should be, knows when he is pushing the envelope, and knows when he deserves a T. Those that dont dont last long (unfortunatley a very small percentage does).
In all my camps and evaluations I have never had to be addressed on management why because I CAN MANAGE -- what I can manage is only to the extent to that which I have been exposed to. god i hate these soapbox replies but I guess I am just not as anal as many others.
