And you're thinking that statisticians, or team managers, couldn't also distract the table during a live ball? Here's my point. If we're going to allow somebody to go to the table, why not the head coach as well? The head coach isn't going to be MORE of a distraction. After all, during a live ball, he/she is going to want to get back to coaching the team as quickly as possible.

If you don't agree with me that the NFHS doesn't want coaches at the table, then please tell me why the rule exists.

Perhaps you didn't read my previous post. When you stated:

The NFHS doesn't want coaches going to the table. That fact is very evident.

I replied:

Agreed.

The issue is not the rule, nor has it ever been in this thread. The issue is the rationale for that rule.
