Coach slightly on the court, makes contact with opposing player.
Perhaps I'm not as good with the search function as others but I did try:
And I did look in the book and can't find anything that covers this, except for the coaching box restrictions, 10-5-1.
So let's say we're in the first half, which means that coach has his (or her) team on defense in front of him. Play goes to the wing and while the coach is slightly on the floor, not egregiously nor in an unsporting manner, the offensive player: (a) makes contact with him while he's coaching, again not on purpose, but it disrupts the player. The player stumbles, regains balance but has to kick it back out, and play continues; or (b) makes contact with him while he's coaching, again not on purpose, but it disrupts the player and he stumbles and loses the ball OOB.
Let's say that slightly equals a few to several inches.
Is this as cut and dried as it appears, TF in both?
