Tech on Coach situation

As posted previously, here is verbatim from the most recent Kansas State publication "2007-2008 Basketball Announcements".

COACHING BOX
"The head coach may:

1. Stand to instruct (coach) then,
2. Sit down
3. Not kneel, squat, pace or stand during a live ball."

Pretty clear to me how they define "coaching".

Here's what I could find on Iowa's website. The Boys' and Girls' associations (yes, we have 2 here) are both going to this rule, or something very similar. I'm not a fan of this rule, but I do as the state says. This is from a memo we got earlier this season, I'll know more after I hit our state meeting here in the next couple of weeks.

"In summary, the Board approved adopting the “seat belt” bench decorum rule which is currently utilized in the boy’s game in Iowa, with two modifications. First, coaches will be allowed to stand and confer with a player(s) whenever the clock is not running. Second, the coach may rise to congratulate a disqualified player, and walk the confines of the team bench to select a replacement."
