I think Rut's point here is that while officials are going to officiate the "game" the same regardless of whether it's jv or varsity, often times we'll officiate the side stuff differently. Uniforms are a key example, since I think we've all done JV stuff where at least one team is using practice uniforms colored differently from the shorts, with undershirts that match the shorts.
Yeah, the game's a big deal to the kids, but the side stuff isn't. I'd be inclined to let who ever seems to be acting as the head coach do what the h/c is allowed to do. If the head coach actually gets sick and goes home, are you really going to tell the assistant that he's gotta sit because he didn't start the game as the hc? The rules don't define who the hc is, so maybe we should go all the way to the HR department at the school to see which coach gets paid more. I say don't sweat it, and let them coach, rather than ask for unnecessary trouble.
