Sideline Warning?--IHSA Rules Meeting

Having said that, I gotta tell you that we've already told our officials to follow basically the same procedure as the IHSA and MIAA have recommended--i.e a T if they're yapping and a warning first if they're just wandering. There's a l'il bit more common sense attached to that imo rather than issuing a T without a warning to a coach who might have innocently stepped outside their box.

I know our state was contemplating taking away the coaching box all together. This I guess was a compromise to keep the box and handle those that violate the rule without yelling at the officials.
