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.

Thanks for the info, without the nonsense attached to it by the previous banned poster.
If that's the directive from the state, it has to be followed. In real life, if sounds like you're actually calling the box like most other states anyway. We all basically have the same tool available to us anyway. There's no provision anywhere in the rules that will allow any coach at any time to question calls or b!tch at us. It's simply up to each individual official as to what they want to put up with. Mileage certainly varies.
Thanks again. We can put that one to bed now(hopefully).
