Coaching box restriction after a T

[Raymond]

I think they only should sit for a direct T caused by their own unsporting behavior, otherwise let them keep the box. Especially hate it when I have to do extra monitoring of the HC just b/c a kid dunked in warm-ups.

I think we should give them a choice they can either sit or take a punch in the gut from the official who gave them the T and then remain standing for the rest of the game. Actually, we should just eliminate the box and let them roam the entire court, inbounds and out, yelling and screaming whatever they like. This would add some great entertainment value and possibly increase crowd size!

I like this suggestion, but would also make them responsible for the behavior of their assistant coaches. In other words, they keep the box unless they or an assistant engaged in unsporting behavior. Then the AC can explain to the HC how he/she cost the boss the coaching box.

That would be unsporting, would it not?
