The bench area for both teams allows the use of padded chairs but the home school only puts out chairs for its team and pulls out the bleachers for the visiting team. although I can't find a rule for this it is causing all kinds of problems with teams visiting this site. All suggestions welcome....

Completely and totally the home school's option. There is no rule that governs this type of thing.

This could be the start of a Home/Away war. What comes next? No heat in visitors lockerroom, no hot water in showers, etc.

They could paint the visiting team's locker room pink. I remember seeing a major college do that on ESPN.

ESPN broadcast the painting?!? Did the painters wear numbers? Was there a timing device? Were any subs allowed?

In the next episode of This Old House, Norm uses his $150K worth of power tools to paint the visitor's locker room pink and put up a towel rack.

Yep - good 'ole boy Hayden Fry did that at the University of Iowa football visitor's locker room.

As far as I know, it's still pink.

Doesn't seem like much of a situation that an official must handle.

To my knowledge the Iowa football locker rooms are still pink. They may have to paint them cardinal and gold the way Iowa State has dominated them in football recently. Adam? I thought I saw you posting somewhere else. Are you going to come stick up for your team?

Well, now, better late than never, I suppose. I'll take this opportunity to speak up. Yes, the visitor's locker room at Kinnick Stadium is still pink. More accurately, it's pink again. They just revamped the stadium and painted the new visitor's locker room pink to continue the tradition.

I just heard a story about the old Michigan coach who just passed away. He had the locker room in Iowa City wallpapered prior to his team using it.

Oh, and Jeff, you may go to this website, if you dare....

I did have the onions to check out the website. I noticed the pink locker rooms didn't help much the last 2 home games of the year. There a new sheriff in Ames! All the way from Texas. Kirk has his work cut out for him, but then he struggled beating the guy that got ran out of town.

What level is this? Our middle school did something very similar this fall for girls BB games and we had no complaints. For MS and lower, I wouldn't make a big deal about it. At the high school level and beyond, it seems like common courtesy would be both team "benches" are identical, but I'm not sure if there is a rule for this.

Maybe on the return trip, this home team gets to sit on upside down 5 gallon pails. Guaranty things would change after that.

This is Varsity Boys Basketball.
To further set the stage, the home teams chairs are about two feet from the sideline, but the visiting teams pull out bleacher is about eight feet from the sideline.
So let's get crazy and say that if both coaches recieved a "T" and lost their box then one coach would have an unfair advantage over the other one, because the visiting coach while sitting down can't see the action when the ball is at the other end of the floor.
