Mike,
Can you give me a rule number for this? I don't have my books, but looked this up earlier this year and found that it covered coaches being out of the box and intentionally contacting an official. In this case they are in the box and I'd have a hard time making the case that the contact was intentional.
Don't get me wrong, I work with my toes on the sideline or behind it, I'm just looking for rule support for a coach getting in my way when he was legally entitled to the same space. It would be so nice to have even a 1 yard band between the side line and the coaches box.
