I wish I had the access to both the NFHS Rulebook & the WIAA Rulebook, unfortunately I do not

To give an idea, at least once during every Girls' Varsity Game, the assistant coach stands up, goes behind the scorers' table & looks at the scorebook.

Why I was asking is cause of the fact that I saw this as a POE this year on the WIAA Online Rules Clinic, however there was no rule/regulation # listed.

Who should I notify about this happening, especially with it being a POE? The Head Coach, The AD....

You should notify no one. If the officials are going to enforce it, they will. It's not your job.

I agree. On the other hand, if the coach's actions by word, action or attitude are in any way harassing or intimidating to the table crew, or interfere with their ability to do their job, then the officials do need to be notified.

In an ideal world, we would have circumferential vision and be aware of everything that goes on. The reality is that our primary focus needs to be on those ten players on the court - everything else is secondary.

I am glad that this queston got asked. I witnessed this last night (from the stands) in a BV game. The visiting assistant and the head coach were almost bumping into each other the whole first half. It appeared that someone may have said something to them @ half, because in the second half the assistant was visibly trying to stay seated. He did pretty good @ it, but I could tell that he was ready to jump up often. LOL

As I have just started to read the rule book, case book, and officials manual, I thought that only the HC had the right to use the coaching box. Thanks for answering my question as well.

Assistant coaches are like children. They should be seen and not heard.
