Re: [gatortalk] Bench warning
My uncle coached high school basketball for several decades, and we used to take bets on how long the game would go on before he received a bench warning. He seldom lasted very long, and I hate to say that I saw him get technicals thrown on him more than a handful of times. He was an awesome coach, but his temper often got the best of him. :-/ Cee - Original Message - From: John Vega To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, February 14, 2011 11:19 AM Subject: Re: [gatortalk] Bench warning On Feb 13, 2011, at 8:47 PM, Helen Huntley wrote: Last night the refs gave Tennessee a "bench warning," akin to a "sideline warning" in football.

There is a painted area that a head coach may pace within but, during the play, he is not allowed to step outside of. It has been a rule for over 25 year.

Bruce Pearl, on the other hand, had run two or three feet outside of the box and was standing out on the court. Had there been a turnover, he would have been in the way. Easy call for the refs. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
