Can someone find the actual rule of a bench standing or sitting? It seriously gets so old. Ball is at the other end of the court and they stop everything to tell the Wolves to sit down....I can someone understand if it's on the end with the ball but give it a rest
I found this in the rule book.
Assistant coaches and bench personnel. All bench personnel, with the
exception of the head coach, are required to be seated on the bench while the ball is
live except to react spontaneously to an outstanding play and then to immediately
return to sitting on the bench. Violations by players, especially assistant coaches,
should not be tolerated by officials. When assistant coaches or bench personnel
are violating bench decorum rules in a minor way, the official shall inform the
head coach and request that he handle the situation. This is an official warning.
Any further violation by bench personnel shall result in a technical foul assessed to
the offender. Egregious (blatant) conduct violations by assistant coaches or bench
personnel need no warning and shall immediately result in a technical foul. A
technical foul assessed to bench personnel is also assessed as a CLASS B technical
foul to the head coach.
WSU 3pt lead 13 sec left. NSU hits 2 pointer. NSU fouls WSU. WSU misses FT. NSU scores at buzzer and thanks for calling evening meal supper.
Always. Despite the fact that it got me into trouble with my third grade teacher when she insisted it was dinner. I asked her what the noon meal was. She said lunch. Then I asked her what the evening meal was. She insisted dinner. Then I asked her what supper was. She had no answer. She just held it against me for the rest of the year.
What SHE called it wasn't a big deal. When she insisted what I called it, it became one. Even in third grade I wasn't going to take any crap.................
