I better be standing right next to a coach to even have much of any conversation with a coach about and OOB call.

I've only given a T once when a coach argued about an OOB call. In an AAU game. We had the same angle on the play (I was standing in his coaching box), and he wouldn't drop it.

I knew someone would say something, I only used "his" to indicate which box I was in.

I tell new guys, "It's not his box. It's MY box. I let him use it if he behaves."

I always refer to it as "the coaching box" for the same reason.

I've gotten in the habit of saying "off red, white ball", my last few games I decided I was just going to say "white ball", but I fell back into my old habit. Does it matter as long as you are definitive with the call and signal?
