Coaches Box Question

In reading the rulebook about the box it says it is not on the playing court. Some gyms do not have enough room in front of the bench to have a box without the box being on the court. I assume those courts have a box on the court??

Congrats...one question though: Your first game you've officiated at any level was a JV game? I figured most people started with junior high games most of the time.

My first real contest was a girls JV game. I had no MS or rec experience prior to that. My only previous experience blowing a whistle was when I had officiated intramurals while in college.

I think this is more common than you think.

Coaching Box must be marked. If home coach and/or home management refuse to designate coaching box with tape, the home team will not use a coaching box for that game. However, the visiting team will be allowed a coaching box. Notify Board Secretary, or Commissioner the next day.
