It's the same for everybody on this forum, and that includes myself. If you're going to post utter nonsense, you will hear about it.
If a rule is unique to one state only, then post that as such. Don't try to say that what is written in the rule book is wrong because their state has an exception.

Ok JR, educate me. Show me where the NFHS explicitly states a head coach may stand the entire game (barring a T) when remaining perfectly silent and not uttering word or moving. It states he may only stand "for the purpose of coaching his/her team". Now if you think standing = kneeling, or standing = sitting on the floor, then we agree to disagree. If you think "coaching his team" is standing like a statue for 8 minutes without uttering a word, then we disagree on that as well.
Ask your self why would the NFHS put qualitative language in the rule like "for the purpose of coaching his team" if they meant to allow him to stand 32 minutes? What other purpose would a head coach have to stand in the box according to you - if EVERYTHING he does is "coaching"?
Hmmmmmm. Before you state someone is wrong, or his state is the only one clarifying the rule, show definitive proof. Have a nice day.
