REPLY: To back up Mike's assessment, the answer to the original question (head coach DQ'ed--can an assistant call a TO) is technically "no." But...the Federation says that if the head coach is DQ'ed, the game cannot even continue until a responsible person is assigned as the "new" head coach. Once that occurs, the game can continue and this new guy can call TO since he's no longer an assistant but rather the head coach. See the 2004 Case Book pp. 5-6 Situation 10.
