If that were not the case, many parts of the rule book would be impossible to follow...

ART. 10 . . . Reporting a team warning for delay to the official scorer and then to the head coach.
ART. 11 . . . Notifying the head coach when a team is granted its final allowable time-out.
ART. 4 . . . Notify the head coach and request the timer to begin the replacement interval, and then notify the player on a disqualification.

Does that mean, if the head coach is ejected, there is no one to notify and, as such, a player can never be disqualified (since a player isn't disqualified until the coach is notified)?
If a disqualified player subsequently participates, who do you charge that T to? The rules specify the "head coach".
Also, the book uses "head coach" and just "coach" interchangeably throughout....

A player becomes bench personnel after his/her substitute becomes a player or after notification of the coach following his/her disqualification.

Note here is uses only "coach" where the same thing, in a different part, uses "head coach" (above).
For that matter, the only place "assistant" is mentioned anywhere in the book is in the technical foul summary.
The implications throughout the book are that there is always a "head" coach. Sometimes, they use just "the coach". It is just that one the box is lost for the game, the box is lost for whoever is the current head coach.
