That is an excellent phrase to use showing people how to spell english. The correct phrase is, "you're out of your box coach."

You're is a contraction for YOU ARE - you are eliminating the space and the A with the apostrophe.

YOUR is a word to show possession. In this game, the coach possesses the coaching box - it is his coaching box.

THEIR also shows possession. As in "Any time they are out of their box."

THEY'RE is a contraction for THEY ARE and can be used to generalize the actions of a group of people. (Coaches often get crazy with their ranting and raving.) Use it this way: "If they are hollaring like they're crazy, then definitely hit them."

Kapeesh?
You misspelled "hollering". [/B]
If your/you're from the NW, you spell it "hollering". If your/you're from the South, you spell it "hollaring"
