NFHS Player leaving bench area

[deecee]

with the rules, or at least some of them, and how they are written is that a good number of officials -- higher than 10% -- apply them to literally. I honestly dont give a rats a$$ if a player gets up to go get a drink of water by himself. I mean its not like its Ron Artest running around the stadium to fight another player who just got ejected too.

Ref: *tweet* technical foul on white 45.
Coach: What the deuce? huh....what just happend? what did he do?.....im lost
Ref: Coach your player got off the bench.
Coach: Yes players tend to do that sometimes when they are thirsty as water doesnt go to them.

I mean really how can you even entertain that thought.

IMO, totally different situation. Water is located at the end of the bench area. The player crossing the division line to "display sportmanship" in not the bench area.
