Quote:
5.4 Coaches and Team Personnel - No one but players in uniform, nonplaying
team personnel duly registered on the Roster Sheet as the
Manager, Coach(es), Trainer, Equipment Manager, etc. shall be
permitted to occupy the benches so provided.
One non-uniformed player shall be permitted on the players’ bench
in a coaching capacity. He must be indicated on the Roster Sheet
submitted by the Coach to the Official Scorer prior to the start of the
game.
