Obviously, in NCAA basketball things are different since the coach doesn't lose the box after a technical foul. And of course the box is 28' long. So there it makes perfect sense to expect that the coach always be in the box.

Right. "Bench area" and "coaches box" are (nearly) synonymous in NCAA; not so in FED.
