Tech on Coach situation

Just my opinion. Obviously nagging refs gets a T no matter if there is a box or not - so that can't be the reason.

Glad KS has taken the mystery out of it.

Under 10-5 of my rules book it reads: By state association adoption the head coach may be off the bench in front of his/her seat within the confines of the designated coaching box, as in 1-13-2, for the purpose of coaching his/her team. I do not find the word "stand" in that paragraph. Why do you want to read limitations into this?
