We were? When? I don't remember that - I hardly ever move from inbetween the drivers. (I'm the coach in the middle of that picture there). What do you mean by "foot fault" anyway? A penalty? If so, definitly not - I would have remembered that. No ref ever said anything to me anyway.

I heard from some other teams' coaches that coaches can't step over the line, but the refs never said anything to me at LI or PA and I'm constantly over the line. I also asked at LI specifically where I'm allowed to walk once the match starts (as in, am I allowed to walk next to my alliance partners), and the answer I got was I had to be within the large box.
