Yes it is.

How do you support your direction to the players? What if the coach wants to talk to them?

I ageree. If a coach wants to talk to his players he should be allowed to, I wouldn't make them move to the backcourt.

Already addressed this. This has never been an issue. I haver never once had a coach complain about this, or ever seen a coach complain about this. Like I said, if he wants to talk or keep his players and talk to them so be it. They just have to be legal.

Guess if the coaches aren't complaining then it's not a problem. Just wondering what happens if you get a coach who calls his players over to him and his bench is in the front court during the free throws?

We allow it, as long as they are above the free throw line extended, outside the 3 point line.
