rationale: the way the currently adopted box is makes it too difficult for most officials to manage the bench. Let the coach use the sideline to coach his team, if he can't handle that, he should have no box, eliminate the half measures.

FIBA did #3: we now call them "unsportsmanlike fouls"; maybe the name is terrible, but it does not convey any idea of "intentionality", which is not a criterion to call them, as any "stop clock foul" could be deemed intentional.
#6: We have the coaching box from the endline to 5 meters (16' 5"; aren't metric measures simpler?
) from the division line. No particular problem. And no, after a T the coach doesn't lose any coaching box privilege.
