This is, IMHO, one of the most stupid, over-officious, interpretations ever. (Right up there with it has to be an intentional foul if the coach yells "Foul".) You're going to deny a coach the privilege of standing for the entire game because he sat 13' from the endline, instead of 14' from the endline?
