In Iowa, boys coachs are seated during the game. I think it's good. I ref some and coach elementary kids. It hasn't hurt my ability to coach during a game. Call a time out and stand up to coach. It can be really loud and if your players want to hear you they can. Now if you need to stand up to scream/yell at a player for doing something wrong then sorry, you'll have to call a time out for that too. As far as basketball being singled out, if basketball was played out doors in a huge field, then we wouldn't be having this conversation.
