How not to enforce Bench Decorum

[TimTaylor]

A brief pregame meeting with the coaches is essential IMHO - that's the best place to address this kind of stuff. It's mandatory here as well.

Here we use a 15-11-8-3 protocol for HS games:
On the floor no later than 15 minutes pregame
R checks books at 11 minutes (gives them time to make corrections if needed)
Captains at 8 minutes
Coaches at 3 minutes

It works well for MS/JH games as well, but sometimes we have to squeeze it together a little to fit in the time they allot between games.
