Nevada - the formal warning came in last year in the NCAA with the coaches being out of the box.

And the point of Emphasis is from 2005 - 06
in 2006 -07 that POE was
Coaching Box – In states that authorize the use of the optional coaching box, the head coach is the only person on the bench that is permitted to stand and must remain in the coaching box. All other bench personnel must remain seated at all times except when a team member is reporting to the scorer's table, during time-outs or intermissions, and to spontaneously react to a play.

That said, Yes I want to keep my coach in the Box all game all day, but if the coach is not riled up why do I want to rile hime up?
this is a dead ball - he is coaching his kids, and I can get him back in his box before we start play without doing anything that will turn a mild mannered coach into Bob Knight on Steroids, would that not be the better thing for the game?

REF: Coach - do you need a time out?
COACH: Huh?
REF: You're out on the floor I thought you wanted a time out?
COACH: NO.
REF: Then help me out coach, you need to get back in the coaches box so we can play the game.

If it persists or if it delays the game then you warn him so everyone knows that if it happens again what the consequenses are.


This is a common sence solution to a problem.
IMO if more officials would grow some hangy down things and deal with the truly horrid and deserving behavior of coaches appropriately we wouldn't be bickering over a POE about keeping a coach in his cage - I mean box!
