No cell phones allowed within the hearable confines of the gym.

In addition to no coaches calling TO's, I'd say ONLY the coach and other players on the bench. No more assistant coaches mumbling about travels under their breath, or standing up "coaching" while the coach is doing the same. Let 'em watch from the second row - then they can do as they please.

Only the head coach can stand if your state has adopted the coaching box

Only a player on the floor able to request a time out.

And complimentary shrimp cocktail after every game.

00 illegal.

Simple, easy to understand. No problem confusing it with duplicate of 0.

I think Derwil is suggesting that assistant coaches not even be allowed on the bench. Only the head coach and bench personnel who are eligible to become players would be allowed on the bench.

I agree that's what he was suggesting, but he was suggesting it to solve a problem that already has a remedy. Since moving to Colorado, I have yet to hear from a single assistant coach during a game (at the high school level). They never stand except during timeouts.

It's not that they're piping off and not getting caught; they just don't do it.

I've had AAU issues, but those were quickly handled.

Sit them down. Assistant coaches are not allowed to stand and coach. Deal with it early, as soon as you see them standing.
