What if he's talking to the guy who's sitting right behind the opponent's bench, listening in on the huddle? Get him off the phone, or get him off the bench. JMO

Thuis is kinda where I was going. Rule book says:
ART. 3 . . . Use television monitoring or replay equipment or computers (other than for statistics) for coaching purposes during the game or any intermission or use a megaphone or any mechanical sounding device or any electronic transmission device at courtside for coaching purposes, or electronic equipment for voice communication with players.

In this situation (2 of 3) I was wondering ... Do I have to stop a game and ask who s/he's talking too!?! and determine if its for coaching purposes? Or do I assume and prohibit. Weird. An I'll close by wondering if they would be genuine in their answer anyway.
