All I'm saying is that the NFHS rules do not, by rule, allow assistant coaches to ask you questions at any time. The penalty for doing so is supposed to be a T.
I think I said in my other post that I would answer a civil situation-related question. I will never discuss a call with an assistant, period, even if it's asked civilly. I don't care how long his/her hours are. "Direct any questions through your head coach", is my standard comment. And if the assistant comes onto the floor to question a call, it's a very short leash. If the assistant gets banged, who do you think it "won't bode well for"? The assistant, b/c everybody knows he's got no business talking to the officials.

If head coaches are like women, b/c Ace can't unnerstan' 'em, then assistants are like children b/c the should be seen and not heard.
