The following is point 2 from a study link JR posted http://lhsaa.org/officialsfiles/manu...StudyGuide.pdf

2. Both the head coach and the assistant coach may stand during play.


Is this right? I thought only the head coach can use the box--and the assistant can only stand and react to a specific play but sit down again.

OC,that study guide was put out by the Louisiana state athletic association. It is not an official document for any other state. You are right. By NFHS rule,as you pointed out, only the head coach is allowed to stand when a coaching box is being used. Louisiana may be using a local exception to that rule. Another alternative is that the study guide may be wrong.

In NFHS, the general rule for assistant coaches, which should be thought only and NEVER said out loud, is easily summarized in five words:

Sit down and Shut up!!

I checked out the study guide. After reading several examples, I figured out that the statements are either True or False. They are not all True, but rather statements to get you to discuss/study and decide if they are T or F. At least that is what I determined after reading several False statements. If I am wrong, then Louisiana goes by different rules.

Working a scrimmage game yesterday, my partner, who is a long time college women's official told us a great line he used on an assistant coach who was in his ear one night. He said "Coach, you just take care of the towels and I'll handle the floor". I thought that was hilarious, not that I would use it.

I'm not surprised it would be you to devise a classy way to say it!

I have a story about an assistant coach and head coach some time ago. I will make it as short as possible.
Summer tournament game. Near empty gym. Guy on baseline with camera making comments like "that ball was out", "he got fouled" and so forth. My partner and I hear enough and we tell him he can't stand on the baseline anymore. Oh, only about 5-6 feet to wall so he is right in our ear. So, he goes to the bench on the far end of the court. During a dead ball I go to the "head coach" and the conversation goes like this:
me - coach you can't have a fan on your bench
coach - he isn't a fan he is a coach
me - coach you can't have a fan on your banch
camera man - why are you even talking to him, I'm the head coach
me - your the head coach?
camera man - yeah, I'm the head coach!
me - are you sure you're the head coach?
camera man - yes, I'M THE HEAD COACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I back away a few steps, "tweet, technical foul on white coach."

I tried to talk to who I thought was the head coach and I tried to talk the head coach out of telling me he was the head coach. I don't think any state allows the head coach to be on the far end line from his bench with a camera during play. After the T he asked me in a quiet, normal tone "what did I do to get the T?" I told him he couldn't be a coach and be all the way on the baseline. I didn't hear a peep from him the rest of the game. I don't even remember if his team won or lost. I didn't care about the outcome I just knew I had to handle this situation.

In a situation with an assistant just tell the coach "coach, your assistant is going to hurt you."

Our study guide has true/false questions on it. That one is false. Exception: If play is going on at both ends of the court and coaches are sitting on opposite ends of bench, then, they can both stand. Also, the officials can't be looking and or not bothering to make the call.
