Coaching boxes

[bluezebra]

Carl, et al:

If a court says we cannot keep a handicapped coach out of the coaches' box, what keeps us from being exempt from being sued if we refuse to allow him in there? The only recourse we have, as some of you have done, and as I have done in a travel softball league I used to work, is to refuse to work his games. In that softball league, there was a manager in a wheelchair. Fortunately, he was aware of his mobility problem, and did not go into the box. He was more concerned with the safety of the players than with his "rights". Somewhere, some day, the courts will look at the WHOLE picture and think of the players' safety first.
