What is the penalty for a nonplayer being outside of the team box?

The penalty for a nonplayer being outside of the team box is indeed a 5-yard penalty. According to the rules established by the NFHS (National Federation of State High School Associations), nonplayers include coaches, managers, and other team personnel who are not participating in the game on the field.

When a nonplayer is outside the designated team box area, it is considered a violation of the game's regulations. A team box is an area designated for team personnel, and its purpose is to keep the sideline organized and safe. The 5-yard penalty serves to discourage nonplayers from interfering with the game and to maintain control of the game environment.

The lesser penalty reflects the nature of the infraction, which is more about maintaining order rather than affecting the gameplay directly, unlike more serious infractions which may incur greater yardage penalties. The other options represent penalties that are typically reserved for more significant infractions, such as personal fouls or unsportsmanlike conduct, which are not applicable in this situation.
