I agree completely with everything you wrote in everything but the final paragraph.
I see nothing in the rules book differentiating what a coach may do (relative to sending bench personnel to the locker room, bus, hallway, wherever) with his bench personnel, disqualified or not. You've cited the same case play several times here, and I just don't agree that it applies to what a coach wants to do with his non-adult bench personnel. According to what you wrote:
we're back to discussing what you called "apples and oranges" because now you're saying a player who needs saline solution from his bag may not run to the locker room without an adult escort.
I see nothing which requires me to monitor every movement of all bench personnel both inside and outside the confines of the game.

I don't like making excuses for mistakes in my posts, both Daryl and I missed the Monday OhioHSAA State Rules Meetings for Baseball and Softball because we were both officiating basketball and I was trying to get my latest post posted Daryl picked me up to go to the OhioHSAA State Rules Meetings in Archbold, Ohio, therefore I did not proof read what I wrote.
BUT, if you go back to my post that you quoted you will see that I have now proof read it and edited it (see the
red in
bold italics) to what I wanted to say. Meaning, that I stand by what I wrote in the edited post.
Dick Schindler was still the NFHS Basketball Rules Editor when this rule was adopted and I heard him speak about the change and how it was to be applied. What I have told you is what Dick told us at and interpreters' meeting. What I said in the last paragraph of the post you are quoting is exactly how the Rules Committee wanted it to be applied. If you do not want to accept what I am saying I am sure you will accept the interpretation of the Rules Editor.
The rule does not require nor did it ever require a
non-disqualified non-adult bench personnel to supervised by an adult when not on the bench. The rule is to be applied to
disqualified non-adult bench personnel. And yes, by rule you are required to monitor
disqualified non-adult bench personnel; you are required to make sure that they are under adult supervision at all times.
If you feel that you do want that responsibility that do not officiate basketball under NFHS Rules.
