How tight is the seat belt?

I told him the only time he could stand after he'd been seat-belted was to get our attention for a timeout.

Can he stand in those situations of spontaneous reaction to plays by his team? I honestly don't know...

Yes he can, it is in the rule.

10-5.

Should not have read that while taking a sip of water.

Good one.

On topic: I'll answer any coaches (or player's, or even any bench personnel's) question, as long as it's asked a) at an appropriate time and b) politely and respectfully.

During an extended dead ball I had assistant coach tell me last night that I needed to tell my partner about something the AC supposedly witnessed. I told him "i'm not going tell my partner what you saw". He then says "Well, what do want me to do, yell across the court at him". I said, "no, I want you to not say to anything at all to us".

After the head coach loses his coaching box privileges, he still may, by rule, legally stand to spontaneously react to an outstanding play by a team member; to request a timeout, or signal his players to request a timeout; to confer with personnel at the scorer’s table to request a timeout that a correctable error, or a timing, scoring, or alternating possession mistake be prevented, or rectified; to replace or remove a disqualified, or injured, player, or player directed to leave the game; during a charged timeout, or the intermission between quarters, and extra periods; and to acknowledge a replaced player.

All this damn Tech talk jinxed me. T'd my second HC this week (we had 5 total tonight). Don't think he got up afterwards but really didn't pay attention.
