Really?

No, he wants a rule citation that says that a coach who starts the game seated outside the coach's box may not then use the box for the rest of the game:
10.5.1 SITUATION C:
The coach of Team B sits on the opposite end of the bench from where the optional coaching box is located. The coach rises only when *permitted by rule.
RULING: Legal. The coach is not required to use the optional coaching box even though it has been adopted by the state association. However, if the coach begins the game by sitting somewhere other than where the box is located, he/she may not use the box privileges any time during the game. The coach must begin the game in a position within the box if he/she wishes to stand when *permitted under the optional coaching-box provisions.
Let's not be so quick to jump on folks if we're not following the what's being said in the thread.
