If the home school administration says “We are not putting a box down. You as the referee say, “Well then you better get on the PA system and tell everyone why the game isn’t starting.” I bet you’ll see some tape getting put down very quick.
Rule 2.4.1
The Referee SHALL:
Article 1:
Inspect and APPROVE all equipment, including COURT, baskets, ball, backboards and timers and scores signal.
Rule 1.13.2 says that the coaching box shall be outlined
So now letÂ’s say that you walk out onto the floor and the free throw lane markings are not on the floor. Are you going to say well tonight I guess weÂ’re not going to have anyone line-up for free throws. Because the home team canÂ’t rebound so they donÂ’t want to put the markings down.

We have to have a FT lane to play the game. We don't have to have a coaching box. We will survive.
|
I knew IÂ’d find a taker.
What gives you the right to say on line means less then the other?

I have just as much right to say we can play without a coaching box as you have to say that one has to be there. IOW, I have the exact same rights that you have.
Hypothetically, let's suppose we don't have any tape.
If there's no coaching box, are we going to play? Yes.
If there's no FT lane, are we going to play? Of course not.
That's why it's obvious to anyone with a brain that FT lines are a more important issue than a coaching box.
The use of the coaching box is a STATE ASSOCIATION CONTROLLED issue. My state says that if there's no box, coaches sit. Virginia says that if there's no box, the visiting coach can stand. Neither state requires that the referee make the home team put a box down.
So you do what your state says to do and I'll do what mine says to. But don't try to bull$hit us that the coaching box is just as important as the FT lane lines
|
I agree. Do what your state says do and let other state do what is told by their governing bodies.
|
The coaching box SIZE is STATE ASSOCIATION CONTROLLED. Clearly if a school has no tape you are going to play. But with a coaching box, coach you've got three chairs.
