They do? The vast majority of people? What world are you living in where the vast majority of people behave that way? I like the seatbelt rule - as long as the coaching box is considered a privilege, taking it away is a fair consequence of behaving like a jackass. I would be in favor of limiting the seatbelt to unsporting behavior T's only and not things like pregame dunking and uniform issues.

I still don't understand why we can't expect adults to behave like adults, especially when they're teaching our children how to behave like adults.

Certainly when the game is not out of reach, 2 shots plus the ball can be a great deterrent to a coach earning a T. But when the game is out of reach, and the points and possession are meaningless, the seatbelt is that extra deterrent to maybe keep them from blowing off some steam at us for the sake of blowing off steam. It doesn't always stop it, but I'd like to think it may prevent a few.

The perception is that the T is something horrible to be avoided at all costs, which I find ridiculous. |

All I'm saying is that I don't think sitting a coach does any good, most of the time. I'm fine with the rule staying or being changed, but if someone asks me does sitting coaches result in better behavior I'm going to tell them probably not. |

I don't agree that putting a coach in the dugout is required before ejection. It's not a linear process where one must occur before the other. And while I do fast pitch softball, I work with a lot of guys who do both and have never heard of a written warning but maybe that is a state by state thing. I approach the dugout vs ejection thing just like basketball i.e. Answer questions, ignore comments, penalize unsporting behavior. I have used the dugout restriction a lot more recently but that I have attributed to working basketball and likening it to the first T. |

Perhaps, the seatbelt penalty does deter coaches from wanting a T
From time-to-time, a coach may think the benefits of getting a technical foul (motivated his players, hopes of getting some favorable calls from the officials) outweighs the cost of two free throw and, possibly, the ball. Adding the seatbelt penalty might deter coaches from "wanting a T"

Great. That is flipping ridiculous. Softball normally does same stuff but on a 3-4 year delay. Something to look forward to I suppose. |
