Wrong/right?
Wrong (IMO). It's a chance for them to clear up any confusion about the court (is it the dark blue line or the light blue line?), the length of the half-time (since the dancers are performing, it will be 15 minutes?), etc. And, if they "try to trap you" it's better that both coaches are present.

I've had two questions this year -- one dealt with which specific line was the FT line; the other dealt with which specific lines delineated the coaching box.
