Methinks a clarification or "editorial change" will be forthcoming from the NFHS on this for next season... personally, I think this type of thing shouldn't be allowed in basketball, but if NFHS decides to allow this type of communication that's fine too... one less AC on the bench to potentially have a problem with.

Gotta be honest, their isn't that much happening on the floor during a boys basketball game when this would matter... By the time the "spotter" realizes what's happen - its too late. A good player doesn't care about defense and creates his own gaps.
Do we really want to have a separate set of rules for girls and boys... cause this is a non-issue in boys basketball?
If this guy was sitting behind the other teams bench doing this - I'd have a problem... There is no such thing as a birds-eye view that is more helpful than being down on the floor in basketball... That's why the idiots up there never get calls correct!
