So in the extreme case of a very, very, long bench, with lots, and lots, of substitutes, while seated all the way down on the endline, he can stand up to request a timeout?

Sure. Why would he not be able to, in that oddball scenario?

So...if he's been using the box since the start of the game, my first answer applies.

If he hasn't been using the box since the start of the game, he shouldn't have been afforded any of the coaching box rights in the first place.
I get it.

Coach stands in the box. Gets whacked.

Now, coach leaves the box to go sit at the end of the bench.

Whack the coach again as soon as he steps out of the box on his / her way to his/her seat.

I've gotten 2 emails from a college supervisor this week telling us we are not enforcing the coaches sitting in chairs within the box.

So apparently somebody cares, and it's somebody who signs checks.

There is no such rule in NFHS basketball once the coach no longer has access to the box. He can sit anywhere on the bench. If he is going to use the box during the game and starts the game seated, it must be within the box. When the box here was only 6' it was a real pain to tell the coach his chair had to be in there -- it reminded me of a small jail cell.

Obviously, in NCAA basketball things are different since the coach doesn't lose the box after a technical foul. And of course the box is 28' long. So there it makes perfect sense to expect that the coach always be in the box.

Right. "Bench area" and "coaches box" are (nearly) synonymous in NCAA; not so in FED.

I only work high school so I'm not aware of any college specific rules in this area. Sorry if I created any confusion. Since the new mods are having fun playing with name titles, maybe they can figure out a way to denote which rulesets we officiate under as part of our post headers. That might help imply context for situations like this.

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.

Sorry, it's up to the posters to put that in the thread titles. Some threads benefit from looking at multiple rulesets, too.

Besides, we've moved on -- we (the moderator group) spent over an hour yesterday in an online chat trying to decide what color our names should be and whether they should be bolded or not. Important stuff, indeed.

Use a signature that denotes which rulesets you officiate which is already done by some posters.
