Head Coach location

The difference is that, if they sit outside the box, they must stand outside the box to go between their seat and the box which would put them at odds with the rule. They're using that seat location to effectively extend the size of the box to their advantage...allowing them closer to mid-court than they should be.

And in HS, if there are chairs above the 28' line we have the same problem.

I would like to see HS use the college coaches box. A 14 foot box, only has room for approximately 7 or 8 chairs. But until then....it is what it is

I don't know a single official in the board I was in that came close to enforcing the box. Six feet is a joke.

They increased the box to 14 feet for Varsity in TX. Still 6 feet for sub-varsity, but still no one really enforces it.

Thanks for the info...I remember going from (what was) the 6 foot box to the 14 foot box in Virginia...the difference

We use the full size box here but pretty much if the Coach isn't yelling at an official it is pretty much ignored.
