Bench is next to table.

It needs to be addressed by the crew to the coach before the game, not with 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

Like I said, it hadn't been an issue until the fourth quarter and I will definately own up to the fact that I was still green and didn't even think to address or worry about it at the time. Agree about if your up your in the box, if you are down, you are on the bench.

I would generally suggest, though, that the bench just be moved down and that they don't sit right next to the scorer's table. try to notice it during warmups -- and just get an assistant coach to move the head coach's stuff a few feet toward eh end-line.

Agree with bringing it up at an association meeting, especially as I know there is at least one other school that tries to pull the same thing. Looking through the rules under bench location it does say that it is determined by game management and from what I can tell there is no authority for me to move a bench's location except for safety reasons. Am I allowed to move a bench otherwise by rule?
