She remained in contact with the the bench while standing and moving along the bench? She a contortionist?

Coaching her kids is good. Comments made to you are a judgment call. And if you're doing your job, you'll probably never notice the coach moving unless those comments do bring her to your attention.

The movement is irrelevant. Deal with the comments.

JMHO.

Nope. I'd be happy to work a lower level game on a night off, if asked. I'm just saying that I have no personal stake in it on most nights is all. Sorry if it came off otherwise - I didn't mean it to.

To me, if she's moving up and down the bench, she's using the box. It sounds like she's using a loophole not intended by the state's decision not to grant the coaching box at sub-varsity levels. I would check with your state rules interpreter.

The rule says that they have to remain seated. Getting up and moving is not remaining seated. Being in contact with the bench means nothing. One could be standing and still touching the bench.

There are several reasons why a coach is permitted to stand even if they don't have use of the box....whether they've lost it due to a T or if the state doesn't utilize it. I don't know of anything that requires them to return to the exact same chair after legally being on their feet. If they're doing it often, however, they are certainly at risk of an official viewing it as an infraction of the coaching rules.

Just curious; I'm assuming this is some sort of alteration of the coaching box rules. Are they allowed to stand whenever they want, just so long as they are physically touching their bench?

No, there is no coaching box at all. Everyone must remain seated.

All the exceptions are in play, of course. There is no coaching box in the lower levels, so the rules (as written) for such games apply.

Okay, I didn't know if the word "contact" was the operational key here. Can the HC stand (during non-approved times) as long as he is still touching the bench?

No. The rules are as they would be absent the optional coaching box. There is nothing special about WI's rules here -- they've just chosen to only give the optional box to varsity head coaches.

I am quite happy to be following Ohio's rules on this one. I wonder if they make high school teachers stay seated while teaching as well? As JR stated earlier, it is about the comments, not the physical position (unless in WI -- and, likely, several other states).....

Being forced to sit all game long would have shortened my coaching career by 25 years....

I know several areas like Wisconsin that have either banned or restricted usage of the coaching box. And in all cases it was never because of coach's coaching. It was because of coach's officiating. A smart coach can always get his point across to us without putting on a show.
