Head Coache's Rule

[Big2Cat]

The real problem this year, as I see it in Illinois, is that we are supposed to T up the coach with no warning when he is out of the box. I have not seen it happen yet. Anyone else?

Actually that is not true. The IHSA made a big deal out of if about 2 years ago and then they backed off of that strict interpretation. Kurt and Beth said that they need to have officials concentrating on floor and not be so quick to only T a coach because they were out of the box.

Peace

Well, then, my interpreter said something very different than your interpreter. It may or may not be true, but that is what we were told at our meeting.

I do not know what it has to do with "My Interpreter." The person that made the comments was the sport's administrators of one of the gender's and he referenced the other sport's administrator. Also the Head Clinician of the State and Head Rules Interpreter made similar statements.

Now keep in mind, officials were being emailed from higher ups when observed by IHSA administrators when they did not follow this procedure about 2 years ago when officials did not enforce this strict policy for the coaching box. Ever since I heard the "back off" comments, I have not heard a single person get similar contact or be condemned for a lack of enforcement. I think the IHSA realized that such a strict enforcement was not practical. It does not mean that they want coaches all over the court. I just think they realize we can handle it without the only option giving Ts all the time.

I got the same interpretation as Rut in the rules meeting I attended.
