In Minnesota we have a coaching box. I don't have a problem with coaches standing up. I have only issued two T's on coaches in seven years of varsity basketball. One time the coach was out of his box toward the endline coaching a player before the throw-in. I told him, "coach, I didn't think we were working a three man crew tonight!" He got the message and laughed. Never left the box the rest of the night. Most coaches just coach their team. If they think they want to officiate the game you can arrange for them to sit at any time.
