That will never happen when most HS courts are 84 feet long. That would leave only 8 feet of neutral ground in the middle. Most tables are at wider than that.

At most, to be equitable with NCAA, you could expand the NFHS box to 33ft.

Since the NFHS allowed high school coaches to wander down to the endline several years ago, I don't pay too much attention to the other end of the coaching box unless the coach is in front of the table. I usually notice this before reporting fouls and I don't report the foul until I push (with hand gestures and orally, "Back in the box coach") the coach back into his coaching box. Almost all comply, but if they don't, they'll get an "official" warning. Oft times they really don't know that they're out of the box, they're enthusiastically watching the game, the players, the officials, not the lines on the court.

Maybe if NFHS would finally get rid of the seatbelt rule after a TF, the 28-foot box would get enforced more strictly?
