No complaining, good flow etc. There was only 2 minutes left in the game. I tried to be be diplomatic and asked him to help us out and get back in the box just before we were shooting FTs. I was going to give him until the end of the FTs before I T'd him up. As soon as the second FT was shot, I turned and looked and he was sitting on the "bench" which was the front row of the bleachers, right next to the scorers table. Thoughts?
I've been known to move the first couple of chairs (on each side) to the far end so the bench begins at the 28' line.

Sometimes, if they're sitting on bleachers and expecially if the table isn't exactly centered or there's a stairway, etc, you have to adjust how strictly you'll enforce the rule (and about sitting in the box to start the game).

if it gets too bad, write a report to the state / governing body.

Like I said, wasn't too worried about it in this case because it was bleachers and not chairs, but when the coach was standing up and leaning on the table and opposing coach was complaining, then it became a problem.
