Truerookie, if there's nothing spectacular going on, and the coach is just standing there, why are you initiating contact with him/her? Unless they do something to get your attention (screaming, waving arms, being a dexter-head, etc) why even pay any attention to the coach?

![]() "Shouting instructions" and "applauding an outstanding play" are in two different categories. A coach is allowed to briefly stand for the latter even if your state has not adopted the coaching box. However, a coach may not rise for the former without benefit of a coaching box. Take another look through 10-5, just to get more familiar with it.

Truerookie is admittedly a rookie, so he is still attempting to interpolate all the rules into an easy to understand "system". For example, if the coach had been standing long enough to get a 20-point lead, then the coaching box rule must be applicable to his State for at least that much of the game. All of a sudden, from that mishmash of disjointed information, a rookie will remember [outa the blue (or is it gray matter)] a phrase in one of the books and after a little consideration, he acts on it, So it is that truerookie, though he is still working on the system, has not put together R10-5-1 with Rule 1-13-2 [Note] and with the Case studies of 10.5 where they talk about 'the optional coaching box'. New officials are just learning and using the letter, not the intent of [certain] rules? They appear to be overly officious, as truerookie obviously appeared to that coach, because all the rules have failed to blend, but will with diligence. mick |

Generally, our only contact with coaches is 1-1/2 minutes before the game where my partners wish each coach "Good luck", and I wish them to "have a good game". ![]() mick |

Well, when that single phrase [coach may not stand] pops to the forefront of a busy mind, and the rest of the rule is yet to be learned, then, yeah, I can see a well-meaning rookie make an uninformed decision. When that happens, the thought may become dominant and the focus may narrow until the new official just deals with it and ultimately ends up with a "m'bad". ![]() mick |

On a kind of funny related topic...I used to lift weights with a guy that was a first year coach. One night I came in and he tells me he got his first T. I asked what he did and he told me he got up off the bench and threw his hands up in the air at a no-call. I said, "Yep, that's a T (this was a freshman HS game)." He tells me he couldn't believe he got it. I asked what the rule was and he tells me the rule almost to the letter, "I can stand to applaud a spectacular play or to instruct my players." I said,"Yep." He says, "I can't believe I didn't get a warning or something." Makes you wonder sometimes.

If he wants to instruct his players while standing, he needs to be in a state that has adopted the coaching box rule. |

Paying attention to what is going on with the coach can prevent molehills from becoming mountains. Part of officiating is knowing what is going on outside the lines as well as what is going on inside the lines.
