I see that for the 2009-2010 season that the WIAA has adopted the use of the 14 ft. Coaches Box.

I have read in the rules manual, the following:
ART. 1 . . . The head coach shall remain seated on the team bench, except:
a. By state association adoption, the head coach may stand within the
designated coaching box described in 1-13-2. The first technical foul
charged directly or indirectly to the head coach results in loss of coaching box
privileges & the head coach must remain seated for the remainder of
the game, except as stated below in 10-5-1b, c, d & e.
b. The head coach may stand within the coaching box to request a time-out or signal his/her players to request a time-out.
c. The head coach may stand &/or leave the coaching box to confer with personnel at the scorer’s table to request a time-out as in 5-8-4.
d. The head coach may stand within the coaching box to replace or remove a disqualified/injured player or player directed to leave the game.
e. The head coach may stand as in 10-4-4c & 10-4-4d.

10-4-4:
ART. 4 . . . Stand at the team bench while the clock is running or is stopped, & must remain seated, except:
a. The head coach as in 10-5-1.
b. When a team member is reporting to the scorer's table.
c. During a charged time-out, as in 5-12-5, or the intermission between quarters & extra periods.
d. To spontaneously react to an outstanding play by a team member or to acknowledge a replaced player(s), but must immediately return to his/her seat.

The following is from the Supplement to Court Diagram in the rules manual:
Optional coaching box – tableside. Bounded by a line 28 feet from end line,
the sideline, a line no more than 14 feet from the 28-foot line, & the team
bench. Located off the court & 2 inches wide.
NOTE: State associations may, on an individual basis, allow alternative bench
locations.

Some schools have the box already designated (marked) if the state association uses the box. Its normally from the 28 foot line to about the fourth or fifth seat along the bench.

I agree with Nevada the three W's.
