Unfortunately, I personally don't like punishing all coaches (I used to be able to say "us" until recently) because of some bad apples. Address the bad ones with the appropriate penalty and move on.....

Agree. If we take care of bidness, then there's no need for others to take care of bidness for us. Making a yappy coach sit on the bench isn't gonna stop him/her from yapping. It might make 'em less visible, but that's about it.

The coaching box is still not the default option in the NFHS rulebook. WI still treats it as a privilege that can be removed. They want a report with every situation that causes a coach to lose the coaching box.

I find that mentality silly, but it's their sandbox.

Iowa used to have it for girls only; I found the boys coaches, in general, much less vocal. Although the only coach Ts I gave there were in boys games, so....

They have since taken it back and neither side has the coaching box now.

Not at all Rich. I should've included a :D

Which could make for a crowded bench during Time Outs!:D

How can she get up and still be in contact with the bench? :confused:

Put her a$$ on the bench and tell her to stay there.

Arm touching the bench.

Left Hand Red ...
 

Haven't you ever played Twister?

What difference would that make? The rule says she must remain seated.

I've kinda suspected it from your past posts but you just proved you don't know the difference between your azz and your arm.

NFHS rules don't say the head coach has to be in contact with the bench. It says,

Bench personnel shall not:
Stand in the team bench area while the clock is running or is stopped, and must remain seated

If 10-5 isn't in play, then the coach has to remain SEATED except for exception 10-4-4b, c, & d.

When the penguin said "remain in contact," I assumed WI had some goofy adaptation that allowed them to stand as long as they were touching the bench. Even so, I agree that moving down the bench and touching it with your hand(s) would be an act most likely not intended by the rule.

But, as was noted, there's nothing that requires them to sit back down in the same spot after properly standing.

Did I say it made a difference? I was directly responding to a question which was asked. I even quoted it in my post....figure it out man.
