Is it allowed for the coach to take notes while the game is in progress?

The rules do not permit coaches to take notes during the game. This restriction is in place to maintain the flow of the game and to ensure that coaches are fully engaged and attentive to the game action without distractions. Coaches are expected to rely on their preparation and understanding of the game rather than documenting events or strategies as they happen.

While there might be scenarios when coaches can communicate with players during timeouts or breaks, the act of note-taking is specifically prohibited during active gameplay. This maintains a professional environment and ensures that the focus is on the game itself.
