ball contacts a coach

[DrPete]

I know that on many courts there just isn't much room for a coach to stand without being on the floor. That being said, if the ball hit the coach and that contact kept the ball from going out of bounds against his team (and his team recovered the ball after that), then I think you have to call something.... that's like having a sixth player on the court.

If the ball/coach contact benefited the opposing team, well that's just tough luck. Maybe he'll learn to stay off the court or at least get out of the way of the ball.
