Validation

[Clark Kent]

So let me get this straight....you are saying that rule 10-5-1c that states....

"The head coach may stand and/or leave the coaching box to confer with personnel at the score's table to request a time-out as in 5-8-4."

That he/she as the coach may approach the scorer's table without being "beckoned" by the official?

Because 5-8-4 says....

"....Responds to the score's signal to grant a coach's request that a correctable error, as in 2-10, or a timing, scoring or alternating-possession mistake be prevented or rectified. The appeal to the official shall be presented at the scorer's table where a coach of each team may be present."

So now as I re-read that it seems that it is permissible for the coach to leave the box in order to "rectify" a score even if the official doesn't beckon him, and consequently making the statement false because it says "only if".
