I was under the impression that the running out of bounds T was changed to a violation (which also isn't called)?

Intentionally going out of bounds for an authorized reason is a violation. This is often confused with delaying a return inbounds after a throwin, which is a technical foul. In my opinion, both should be a violation, and carry the same penalty.

That's his point, both used to be technical fouls but were changed to violations.

I disagree that this really needs changed, however. Enforcement varies by area, but where it's enforced consistently, the coaches don't complain.

imho, the reason why coaches complain when I remind them to stay in the box?:

the officials who worked their games previously NEVER said anything/enforced it. Remember...you promote what you permit.

I'm confused? Is this thread about "Fashion Police" issues?

Since the title of this thread is "Coaching Box"....and NONE of the comments, including mine, reference anything other than the coaching box issue, yes, you are some how confused in thinking this is dealing w/ uniform issues......

That being said, my comments apply to "fasion police"-issues as well. When previous officials continually don't enforce the rules - the official who does enforce a specific rule gets the same aforementioned reaction.

Honestly I do not care what other officials say or do. It is a rule and we have the right to simply just enforce the rule. If I am telling you something or using preventative officiating to not be so strict, then you should have enough sense to just comply. Coaches want it both ways. They want us to tell them everything but when we do they get upset. It is like telling a player to be careful not to reach across the throw in plane, then being upset when you violate the rule.

Which is why I made my post. Sometimes our colleagues are our worst enemies, not often, but sometimes.
