The general consensus pounded into our heads every year at the annual rules meeting is this: coaches may stand up to coach (within the confines of their "box"), but once they are through with their "coaching" they must go back to their seat. Coaching in the state of Kansas (we have been instructed) does not include quietly standing, kneeling, or pacing about within or outside of the box.
That being said, the general practice when addressing the coaching box in the state of Kansas is "You don't bother me or biatch about my officiating and you can do headstands all day long in your box and I won't bother you."
Is it a little overbearing? Probably, but in past experience it is a great tool to use when coaches start to become a little too testy and have decided to stand in their box right on the sideline and snark at officials as they run up and down the court.
