NCAA or HS? Around here they tell us in HS clinics to watch for these things, then when you work with the clinicians during the year they don't "ignore" it, but they are less attentive to coaches who might be a step or two out at various points in the game "coaching their teams"...I would never tell anyone to ignore it, I'm just saying that I usually don't notice it until it is directed at me...

In transition & whenever there's a whistle, in addition to watching the players on the floor I like to sneak a peek at the clock, table & benches.

Developing good game awareness has really helped me with correcting timing issues before everyone starts screaming, bringing my subs before the horn goes, granting coaches TO requests before they lose it.

Agreed I check the table every dead ball..again of course you notice the coaches, what I said was tongue in cheek thus the ....I notice, but don't always "notice"...there are obviously limits, a coach "coaching his team" out in front of the scorer's table is going to get dealt with much more quickly and harshly than a coach who steps out two steps when his team is at the other end of the floor and then is back in when the ball is at his end...the rule is that he is to be inside the box, so unless any of you can honestly say that you enforce this 100% (ie no toes out) to a T (no pun intended), all we are really talking about is degrees which like I said I'm sure vary depending on where you are...

GOOD POINT!!! I use that technique also - especially during a dead ball. It's a good management tool to head off potential problems later in the game.
