coaches box foul

[Canned Heat]

A week ago in WI at our WIAA meeting, there was a transparency that showed examples of coaches, players, stat boys, and photographers listed as people that will not be allowed in the box. From that, and the discussion that followed, it was my understanding that the sideline team is responsible for their area.

Rich or anyone else from WI...is that what you were lead to believe..?

Yes, but it's pretty unenforceable if the people aren't affiliated with the team.

This is one situation where I'll simply stop and have them get back OR get removed.

Here in Louisiana, we were directed that coaches can be in the restricted area up until the center touches the ball, then everyone has to be out. Tomorrow are Jamborees(last preseason game) so it will be an interesting next couple of weeks.

The WIAA meeting I was at ended up with this as the process:
1) 1st infraction = flag and SLW
2) 2nd infraction - flag - 5 yd penalty
3) 3rd infraction = flag 15 yd USC1,
4) 4th infraction = flag, 15yd and USC2 w/ejection of HC....
5) if at any point prior to 3rd infraction, there is actual interference (either contact or requiring LJ or L to sidestep ) then go right to 15 yd USC1 .

Lots of guff from coaches at the meeting, but only 1 that was frothing at the mouth.
