I've told a coach sitting on a chair outside the box *before the game* to make sure he was sitting in the box if he wants to use it -- of course, this was back when we had a 6' box. The U1 (or U) typically asks each coach if he's ready before we toss it up, so he would catch it then.
You must be speaking about local thoughts on the rule, though, and if it should be ignored in your area, feel free to ignore it.
