I hate that officials allow coaches to be so far on the court when the ball is in play. A T would end it or a player running them over.

I'm surprised that more players don't just run into coaches like that! A player could plow in a coach on purpose and the refs would be force to call something on the coach
I agree. I hate the coaches coming on the floor barking orders while the game is going on. Fran gets a lot of grief (sometimes deserved) about being a lunatic. But for the most part he is on the bench and saves the ranting for dead ball times. Other coaches spend the whole game on the floor yelling at players/“working the officials”. This is more tiresome than Frans occasional antics.
Watching the IU at Minn game last week. Archie is at one end, on the court most of the game. Lil Richard is on the side standing nearly at mid court by the scorer’s table. Not a word is said to either. It wouldn’t be that bad, but Minnesota has an ungodly amount of room on their sideline. Both spent more time out of the coach’s box than in it.
I wouldn’t be so sure.
Once a coach gets trucked.... After further review, we acknowledge that the coach was on the floor. We did not see an obstruction in play. No technical foul assessed.
A free shot to truck stick Lil Rick P would be worth it. Whether you get a call or not!
Or IZZO please.....
if we had the ball, the bastards probably call a charge on us!!

I do think sometimes they like to see how red Fran will get. What calls get him the most fired up.
The other team taking the ball out of the net after a made basket has to be in the top three.
Forced to make a call? Yes, you would think. However I recall that exact thing happen, a coach on the court getting plowed over by a player. Coach got up looking a little stunned and embarrassed. Gets helped up, everybody had a little laugh and don’t think a warning was even given.
I officiate girls HS varsity. I have had to warn coaches a couple of times about this. Like I told one if I run into you and you are on the floor its an immediate T. No further discussion. Its a safety issue.
