Article - Coaches on the Floor

[Rich]

The coaching box is only a real issue when a coach is out of it for purposes other than coaching.

I dealt with a coaching box twice this season -- once I walked a coach back to his box when he was yelling at a partner. Later I assessed a technical foul - he was in the box at the time. Had nothing to do with the box, either.

In the second last game I worked, there was a coach who ended up all the way at the end line. While he was coaching at the time, I felt I needed to guide him back to the box -- he was just that far out of it.

My last game of the season was on a college floor and there were no HS coaching box lines even drawn.
