By your approach, a coach ignoring the instruction is guilty of a T. I don't think you'd call it though. At least, I hope not.

What's the difference in that scenario to a coach
deliberately talking to his players above the ftl extended?
Is one foot that big a deal? And it might be the OFFENSIVE coach that wants to talk to his players. How does that factor in? Sorry, Juggler, but I don't have a clue where you're coming from on this one.
And where do you get a technical foul out of my "approach"? It's a violation under rule 9-1, and always has been. That's why I'd never call a "T"....the rules won't let me.
Simple procedure. Call the rule as written and don't make up your own. You'll never get in trouble doing that. Jmo.
