Loss of Coaching Box
 

When the coaching box is taken away from the coach the following are when he can stand, correct?

1) Timeout (10-4-4c)
2) Intermission (10-4-4c)
3) React to an outstanding play by a team member or to acknowledge a replaced player(s), but must immediately return to his/her seat. (10-4-4d)
4) Request a timeout (10-5-2)
5) Confer with personnel at scorer 's table to request a 60-second timeout for a correctable error. (10-5-2)
6) Prevent or rectify a timing, scoring or AP mistake (10-5-2)
7) Replace or remove a disqualified/injured player, or player directed to leave the game (10-5-3)

From what I've read it doesn't seem to cover getting a substitute from the end of the bench. The reason I'm asking is that a coach asked this question and I want to be sure. I told him he could but if it was abused then I would have stopped it. If the coach was allowed to stand in order to get a sub off his bench then he could theoretically run subs in and out so that he could continually stand.

I also wanted to make sure I didn't leave anything out in the list.

I never had a coach walk the bench to get a sub. They always yell to the player they want; if it's too loud, that's what the rest of the players are for. Pass the word. Not allowed.

10-5
NOTES:
1. The first technical foul charged directly or indirectly to the head coach results in loss of coaching-box privileges and the head coach must remain seated for the remainder of the game, except as in 10-4-4c and d, 10-5-2 and 10-5-3. This also applies in states not utilizing the optional coaching box.

Those are the only reasons for the head coach to be out of his seat.

would you t?

Why would you not? :rolleyes:

The crew I was on had this last night. Coach got the first one, lost his box. Then, thought (I guess) he could keep going and ended up with his second.
