Seatbelt on a T

Is there any "exceptions" to the seatbelt rule after recieving a T? I know during timeouts it's ok to stand up. But say I call a foul and am going to report. The coach is standing...about 5 feet from his chair on the court...ok? Not ok?

Is the coach actually coaching or reacting to a good play? If the coach is yelling at you then that would be a problem.

Peace

He was not reacting..in fact I warned him that he needed to sit down. To which he held up the stop sign.

He was coaching however...not reacting...

By rule, it's another T and ejection. In real life, different refs will handle this kind of sitch in different ways. You need to weigh how others in your area do it so that you aren't the maverick whacker, but also not just taking any and all abuse. Also, is he yelling at you? That should greatly increase his chances of spending the rest of the game on the bus. Or is he just yelling at his players about the next play? Lots of refs will ignore this if he sits right back down, or they might just remind him about the seat belt. You have to sort of balance out how to fit into your association.

In general it depends on too many things to give a cut and dry answer.

Things I'd consider are:

How he/she got the seat belt...was it a direct T, or was it an indirect?

Are they coaching or cheering or are they talking at me or my partner(s)?

If they hadn't gotten it because of their own unsporting behavior or if they are coaching/cheering, I'd do just what I do to a wandering coach out of their box, "Coach where are you at?"

That usually gets that look down, oh crap reaction, with quick compliance.

Are you serious? You'd let a seatbelted coach wander around?

Lah me.....

Who cares how the coach got seatbelted? The only thing that matters is that he DID get seatbelted. Enforce the rule without making up lame excuses why you don't have to.

After being seatbelted, a coach can legally stand:
1) during a timeout or intermission.
2) to spontaneously react to an outstanding play by a team member, but he/she must immediately sit back down.
3) To request a timeout or to signal one of his players to call a TO.
4) to replace a disqualified player.

That's it.

Rule 10-5NOTES1 is the rules reference.
