So move the chairs to the same side of the court where the coaches boxes are...? What am I missing here?

I don't get it either. I can't even picture what it looks like.

The floor was painted like any other floor, with the boxes where the benches would normally be. The gym itself, however, has a unique design. The bleachers are raised above the level of the floor. The benches are one piece wooden, and are set on opposite sides of the floor straddling the division line.
The home bench is directly in front of the scorer's table. Visitors are on the opposite side. The benches sit in a recessed area in the wall at the base of the bleachers built for that purpose. The rest of the sideline area, including where the boxes are, probably is not wide enough to accommodate a bench.

So if the visiting team wants to send in a substitute, do they run across the court to report to the scorer's table??? or run around the end of the court???
I don't get it either, not for basketball.
If the court isn't marked for the coaches' boxes, and they don't want to put down tape, then we also use the home coach sits and visiting coach can stand application.

Check your local listings.

They have a designated spot at the end of their own bench for subs to stand and be recognized. Not in any book you would read, but that's the way it is. There is another school nearby where the table is raised probably 8 to 10 feet above the level of the court. When a sub comes to the x, he is easily overlooked, so they installed a light on the table with a switch down below for the sub to flip to alert them.

Half the time you cannot get the a player to go to the X on the court when the benches are on the same side. I doubt that works well in this description.

That is the standard Virginia interp. In fact, it's usually includes that the visiting coach can go from endline to 28' mark as his box.

:clap: I agree. I generally tell coaches during the coach's meeting that If they aren't yelling at us, we aren't looking at them.

Same procedure is used in TN. TN uses a 6 foot coach's area, we had a school that built a new gym and marked 14 foot CAs. School did not want to add a tape line at 6 foot. TSSAA was asked for a ruling and they notified the School and the Association that if the school did not correct the CAs that the home coach would set and the visiting coach could use the 14 foot CA.
The fixed the lines. :rolleyes:
