IMO, bad officiating. They ding you on a technicality while you point out THEIR error. A friendly reminder to get back into the box would have been sufficient.

You are right stripes, but the only problem with what you said is that we do not necessrily know the kind of official that was working this game. Many states also have made a bigger issue than needed over the "Coaching Box" rule and have basically threatened officials if they do not give Ts for this action. We must also note that this was an 8th Grade Travelling game too. That might have to do with the kind of official working the game. Might simply be inexperience.

True enough, but you would hope that officials at this level would have common sense. I teach the class for the new officials in my local association and we talk about common sense and doing what is right--at the very begining of the instruction. That is still no guarantee...
