Who gets to sit on the team bench?

Yep. Had a similar situation once in a small town VB game where the coach was simply a Dad who agreed to take over the team when the previous coach left right before the season. He had a few students sitting on his bench, and they started to get out of hand.

I simply informed him at that point that he was responsible for their behavior and if they wanted to act like fans, they needed to go sit with the fans. They stayed put and we had no more issues.

Had a girls playoff game this year where the visiting team dressed about 25 players (only 12 or 13 were in the book though) and they all sat on the bench.

Half way through the third I hear some unhappiness from the end of the bench/second row of the bench after a call I made. I just asked the HC to tighten up her bench and neigh a word was heard since.

Wish I could have done the same for the fans for that game. They took the term Fantastically retarded to a new level.

Interesting usually things of that nature get tightened up when playoffs start...in Missouri, once district play starts rosters are limited to a max of 15 players.

Roster limit is 15 but there is no limit to how many people are on the bench.

Horses were involved? Livestock on the court would fall under rule 2-3.

Coach: He's riding him!

I wondered where that came from. Now I know.
