RE: select High School

Where can I find info about not being allowed to coach from behind the goal?

Hi Referee Baxter
I believe that it is covered under Rule 1 and Rule 12 and it has to do with improper coaching from outside the team area.

Under High School rules, coaching outside the 'team area' is cautionable as unsporting conduct. Rule 12.

If it's a coach in HS, s/he is courting a caution. If it is a parent, for heavens sake have stadium security make them go sit in the stands!
