Title: Coach on field during Team Time out
Post by: BuckShark on November 28, 2015, 11:06:21 AM

Please direct me to the rule prohibiting a coach from coming on the field (beyond the numbers) to address his team during any time out.

This is an oddly (http://www.refstripes.com/forum/index.php?topic=12344.0) common  question  (http://www.refstripes.com/forum/index.php?topic=12182.0) around here.

The accepted standard is pretty clearly that the coach is allowed on the field during virtually all timeouts and within reason during dead ball periods, with, as the rule states " .... permission from the referee.".  It's up to the crew as directed by the R to determine what will be allowed.
