coach's box

[Terrapins Fan]

by the way after quite a few rough years, it's good to be a Terrapin fan again.

They can put the chairs where they want, but if the HC starts out sitting in one of those chairs that isn't within the box, he doesn't get to use the box.

You really need a rule citation to tell you that the coach has to be in the coaching box?

Really?

No, he wants a rule citation that says that a coach who starts the game seated outside the coach's box may not then use the box for the rest of the game:


10.5.1 SITUATION C:

The coach of Team B sits on the opposite end of the bench from where the optional coaching box is located. The coach rises only when *permitted by rule.

RULING: Legal. The coach is not required to use the optional coaching box even though it has been adopted by the state association. However, if the coach begins the game by sitting somewhere other than where the box is located, he/she may not use the box privileges any time during the game. The coach must begin the game in a position within the box if he/she wishes to stand when *permitted under the optional coaching-box provisions.



Let's not be so quick to jump on folks if we're not following the what's being said in the thread.

I would like to see the rule that says that a coach is required to sit on a chair or spot on the bench that is within the coaching box.

Look above your post.

1-13-1 states that game management designates the location of the benches. I think I can safely assume that the home team would be game management in this situation since it is not a neutral court.

Could they, if they want it, use chairs all the way up to the scores table for players while keeping the coaches inside the coaches box? What if, they did not do the same thing for the visiting team?

It says he must start the game in the box in order to use the box. He is free to sit in a chair outside the box and stay there for the rest of the game.

Unless he doesn't want to use the box, in which case he can sit anywhere on the designated bench.

Vandy for years has elected to have the benches off the endline. I've never noticed, but I don't recall any restriction for the coaches in this setting. Is there any?

I have attended one game there as a fan about 10 years ago. Throughout the game, I noticed that when the ball went to the other end, Kevin Stallings would regularly come out to about the free throw line. He never interfered with the game as he always bailed when possession changed. The opposing coach did no such thing.

I don't know if Stallings coming out was something no one noticed (since obviously the ref's backs were to him) or if it was something they agree on in pregame due to the unique setup there.

I have never had a coach refuse to use the coaches box. I have had my U1 tell the coach he needs to get in the box before I toss the ball.
