I referee HS games in PA. This year, the state has decided to begin using a coaching box...most likely 18 feet (although this is undecided last I heard). Any suggestions as to when it is appropriate to pin a coach for being out of the box?

Any time they are out of their box. You may want to give them a warning such as: "your out of your box coach," or "get in the box coach." If they are hollaring like their crazy then deffently hit them.

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?

Most likely you will use the 12 foot box mentioned in the rule book. Here in Texas we use the old 6 foot box. But who cares what size it is. Most of the better officials uses Rut's approach to the box. If you aren't yelling at me I don't care. I also care if the scorer or the time keeper can't see the floor because you are standing in front of them.

I use, "Remember the box, coach."
"Back in the box" or anything similar just sounds too much like talking to an animal. Regardless of what you think the coach sounds like (think howler monkey) it doesn't do to talk to her that way. It's best to act as though you think she appears human. It makes it easier for her to do so. |

For NFHS games the maximum is 14 feet. The 2001-02 Rules Book introduced this change. I don't even see a reference to the six-foot box any more. |
