At a recent game, there was no coaching box marked on the floor. As an official I was always taught that if there is no box on the floor then the home team MUST provide tape so that one can be marked. And if we as officials choose not to mark a box then we are opening the door for trouble. Does anyone know if there are Rules citations for what the correct action is to take if no boxes are marked???

It's very possible that everyone is still sleeping, since I know a lot of businesses and agencies are closed today. I don't have a rules citation for you, but I can tell you what we are told is that the game doesn't start until it's marked. There's no penalty or punishment, but there's no toss either. |

I had this come up this past week in a tournament game. For some reason, they had the clock set up on the opposite side of the court as usual. During the coaches/captains meeting, I told the coaches that since no coaching boxes were marked that by rule, they are required to sit today. Both coaches had a look on their face like they just lost their puppy. I then explained that if they want to be up to coach, I have no problem but if they want to be up to fuss at us, then we will have to enforce the rule. Both coaches were complete gentlemen and we had exactly zero issues.
I know some might say we should have completly enforced the coaching box rule but it worked out pretty good this time as everyone knew their perameters before we started.

I suppose if you have a home coach that ALWAYS sits anyways, he might not want coaching boxes marked at his home court so nobody is up. Some coaches cannot coach from the bench and this would give him a home court advantage. ????

What happens if tonight at my game I decide to take the net off the goal at one end of the court?? I dont see what the difference would be. As a home team I am responsible to make sure all equiment and marking are present. What if the foul line wasnt marked?? Something should be done about the no box marked issue. At least before the game starts one should be tapped down.

Next time I'll phone ahead Mick to see if they have the box marked or some tape I can use. That was about the only four-year old response I have gotten so far!!!

Would you mark them yourself, punish Home coach by making him sit, or make both coaches sit??? Just curious....thanks again.
