Diagram/drawing of coaching box

Is there a diagram/drawing anywhere that shows the exact position of the coaches box?

I see that for the 2009-2010 season that the WIAA has adopted the use of the 14 ft. Coaches Box.

I have read in the rules manual, the following:
ART. 1 . . . The head coach shall remain seated on the team bench, except:
a. By state association adoption, the head coach may stand within the
designated coaching box described in 1-13-2. The first technical foul
charged directly or indirectly to the head coach results in loss of coaching box
privileges & the head coach must remain seated for the remainder of
the game, except as stated below in 10-5-1b, c, d & e.
b. The head coach may stand within the coaching box to request a time-out or signal his/her players to request a time-out.
c. The head coach may stand &/or leave the coaching box to confer with personnel at the scorer’s table to request a time-out as in 5-8-4.
d. The head coach may stand within the coaching box to replace or remove a disqualified/injured player or player directed to leave the game.
e. The head coach may stand as in 10-4-4c & 10-4-4d.

10-4-4:
ART. 4 . . . Stand at the team bench while the clock is running or is stopped, & must remain seated, except:
a. The head coach as in 10-5-1.
b. When a team member is reporting to the scorer's table.
c. During a charged time-out, as in 5-12-5, or the intermission between quarters & extra periods.
d. To spontaneously react to an outstanding play by a team member or to acknowledge a replaced player(s), but must immediately return to his/her seat.

The following is from the Supplement to Court Diagram in the rules manual:
Optional coaching box – tableside. Bounded by a line 28 feet from end line,
the sideline, a line no more than 14 feet from the 28-foot line, & the team
bench. Located off the court & 2 inches wide.
NOTE: State associations may, on an individual basis, allow alternative bench
locations.
