NFHS R10-S5-A1 (Head Coach's Rule), known in layman's terms as the Seat Belt Rule, has been virtually unchanged since the NBCUSA adopted it for boys'/girl's high school and men's college competition in 1970-71. Of course it was never enforced at the men's college level and when the NBCUSA split into the NFHS Basketball Rules and NCAA Basketball Rules Committees the NCAA Committee dropped the rule.
The rule as written is a seat belt rule but with a provision that a StateHSAA can adopt a Coaching (not Coach's ) Box with the stipulation that the CB be marked, even if a StateHSAA adopts a CB, if it not marked at both benches the "Seat Belt Rule" prevails for both teams.
