What's that?

I was using NFHS language. Maybe it refers to thirty second timeouts where both teams are ready to go after only a few seconds, occasionally seen late in lopsided games where coaches are trying to get players from the far end of the bench into the game. Maybe it refers to the fifteen second time interval, not really a timeout, to replace a disqualified or injured player, or for a player directed to leave the game.

NFHS 1-20: Non-playing personnel, e.g., spirit participants, media, shall remain outside of the playing area during a 30-second or less time-out during the game.

Does #10 contain an ambiguity? Next season, a coach two feet from the end line will be out of the coaching box, whether it is 14' or 28'.

Why would the coach be out of the box if the box is 28'? Doesn't the coaching box start at the 28' mark...meaning the other end would be all the way too the endline? If the coach is on the sideline, 2 feet from the endline, they'd be in the new box, wouldn't they?

I guess it depends on whether the 28' box is placed in the middle of the 42' half court, as 1-13-2 states, so the coach would be out of the box by 5', or whether the additional 14 feet are added to the original dimension, making the box run all the way to the end line.

But you may be right. I have not seen the official wording, so my assumption may be wrong.

The coaching box now shall be bounded by a line drawn 28 feet from the end line toward the division line.

Thank you. And Camron Rust is correct.
