Louisville/Kentucky Coaching Box T

[ilyazhito]

I actually gave a coach a warning for being outside the coaching box in a holiday tournament game. I noticed he was outside the box, and told him he needed to get back in thr box. He said something sarcastic along the lines of "Worry about the game, not where I am." I gave him a behavioral warning. If it were college, he'd receive a coaching box warning.

Hmm, funny people complain and will go out of their way to enforce coaches boxes horizontally but what about vertically? Every coach steps inbounds at one point or another. No one mentions that stuff.

You just mentioned it. How are you dealing with it in your games?

Unless, a coach is, IMO, too far on the court, I do not deal with it. Most HS places simply do not have enough room for a coach to be able to stand/walk without being very near the sideline. I am yet to have any issue with a coach going beyond (over the ends) the box but they are frequently right on the line crouching/standing. Sure, they get out of the way when play is near but at other times, they are all over that sideline. Much like the ends of the box, unless it is egregious, I do not address it. Maybe an idle/subtle comment from time to time but nothing even remotely T-worthy, or evening warning-worthy.

My way of dealing with coaches who frequently step on the court is to run directly at with my head turned as if I can't see them

I have above average peripheral vision, so I can my head a little more than most while still maintaining a view.
