I don't think you can generalize that all high school staffs act this way, even in Indiana, which is where I coach. Our varsity coach has clearly defined roles for his asst. coaches, you don't see them standing up and getting on the refs.
Now if you would go to our neighboring school, Tippe Valley, you would see a situation where the head coach just wants his son to coach, even though not a teacher (a requirement in IN), so his son is an asst, but does all the coaching, until they decide to start howling, then both get up.
Our fans get on them terrible "hey, which one of you guys is the coach" "how many coaches do they get" "Hey, looks like the program is wrong, lists ________ as the head coach"
