Your analogy on standing at the beginning of the game does not apply - neither team gets to do it.

Ok, I can see your point, although I still think the analogy has some merit. Try this, then. If your interpretation is right, then after the head coach is ejected, the assistant should be allowed to stand, right? Whoever is calling the plays at the time is allowed to stand -- unless or until assessed a direct or indirect T. If that's true, then the assistant should be allowed to stand after the head coach is tossed. But s/he isn't. Why? Because s/he is not the head coach.

I am on the fence on this one. First of all, I am one that doesn't mind a coach being up coaching his kids, I really don't care if he is a little out of the box, as long as he is coaching, I will remind them to stay in the box, but it isn't a big deal with me. We have a situation near here where we have a team that has Co-head coaches. When they coached individual teams they were both up and loud, mostly coaching but loudly. When we found out that they were going to be co head coaches, we wondered how the heck this would work. So far it has worked well, they both stand occassionally, but never at the same time. Again I personally don't pay much attention to who is doing what as long as they coach.
Hawkscoach and Chuck, consider this. The "head coach" is a position as opposed to a person. In Chuck's message above, assuming that head coach is a position, the reason the new head coach can't stand is because they have assumed the head coach position, and the head coach allready has a technical foul, so he/she can't stand. Just a thought to ponder...
