Interesting point regarding the case book play. I happen to think that it is inconsistent with the rules book. However, I happen to agree with not penalizing a coach who is simply concerned about the health of a kid.

The following rule is very plainly written. How do you consider that the case book play trumps it?



10-4-2
The head coach is responsible for the conduct and behavior of substitutes, disqualified team members and all other bench personnel. Bench personnel shall not:
. . . Enter the court unless by permission of an official to attend an injured player.

PENALTY: (Arts. 1, 2, 3, 4) Two free throws plus ball for division-line throw-in. If the head coach is the offender, the foul is charged directly to him/her.
