Did Team A do anything wrong?
The horn sounds ending the 1st quarter. The Head Coach for Team A is disappointed in the performance of his team and wants to give yell at them. So he takes his team into the hallway so the fans can't see nor hear him. He gets the team back to the bench and onto the court before the start of the 2nd quarter. Violation? Foul? Nothing?

It depends on how one defines "unauthorized reason".

Any other authorized reason? As I've said before, pretend that I'm from Missouri.

I'm not asking about "authorized reasons", I'm asking about the timeframes teams are allowed to leave the bench area.

Who's Going To Step Up ???

I've been perusing the rules, and caseplays, and I can't find any language that states that they are allowed to leave the bench area during the halftime intermission. Can the halftime intermission be an authorized reason because of tradition, with no specific rule reference?

Tradition (Fiddler On The Roof) ...
Quote:
So the question, essentially, becomes, what are these authorized reasons, and I cannot find any rule reference to a single authorized reason, not even the halftime intermission. But we let them leave anyway. Why? The scene opens in a small, rural, high school gymnasium, poorly lighted, half filled with spectators. The halftime buzzer sounds. Coach, wearing a plaid sports jacket, holding a rolled up game program: "Hey Mr. BillyMac. Does my team have your permission to leave the bench area and go to the locker room for our halftime intermission meeting?" BillyMac: "Just let me look through my handy, pocket sized, rulebook coach. I don't see a list of authorized reasons, nor do I see such a list in my handy, pocket sized, casebook, so, no, you can't leave". Yeah? Like that's really going to happen, because if it did, I would never work another game for the rest of my life. Now let's twist the situation around for one of the other two intermissions. Now it becomes a more realistic scene, maybe with an Academy Award winning performance by BillyMac. I could just see it now: "I'd like to thank all the little people, like the point guards, who made this possible".

Check rule 10 where it prohibits the coach from taking his team away from the bench area. My book is at home, and I'm at work, so I can't check. I was thinking it said "except half time", but I could be way off.
