If you feel it's over the line, warn the head coach and then whack him if it continues.

It has been debated that, in rule 9, the term "players" refers to the 10 on the court at the time. When the term "opponent" (9-1-3C) is used, it refers to the 5 on the court as well as bench personnel. Is there a definitive NFHS position or is it the infamous "when in Rome ..." ?
