She stated she remained in contact with the bench while moving.

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

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

Arm touching the bench.

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.

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.

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.
