POINT 1: Touche! Nice catch. Make that "Designated Coaching Box" (10-5-1a).
POINT 2: Asking that question is not necessary. Around here it's kinda a tactful segue to the mention of where the boundaries of said box are--a holdover from when the boxes weren't always clearly marked, perhaps. Also intended not to sound as abrasive (maybe not the best word) as, "Hi Coach, I'm Joey Crawford. Are your players properly and legally equipped? Oh, and the boundary lines for your box are there and there."
