Coach, Please Stay In The Box ...
Here, in my little corner of the Land Of Steady Habits, I have never seen, at any interscholastic level, a coach get a technical foul for being outside the box and coaching. Lots of warning. Lots of reminders. I've been officiating longer than the coaching box has been around. That doesn't make it right, it's just an observation. We may be enablers, and we may be our own worst enemies, but "When in my little corner of Connecticut ...".
You know what's really odd about our "customs"? We have a really strict IAABO Connecticut/CIAC rule about having the coaching box marked: Coaching Box must be marked. If home coach and/or home management refuse to designate coaching box with tape, the home team will not use a coaching box for that game. However, the visiting team will be allowed a coaching box. Notify Board Secretary, or Commissioner the next day.
