I had an interesting thought today about a possible game situation. Someone may have posted this before, but I haven't seen it and would like the opinions of others on this forum.
NFHS play:
The HEAD coach of Team A is disqualified for receiving two direct technical fouls. We know that the remaining bench personnel may not use the coaching box, if that state adoption is being used.
However, due to the specific wording of 5-8-3 "...a player's/headcoach's oral or visual request for a time-out,..." I wondered if the bench personnel has also lost the ability to call a time-out with the head coach's departure.
My opinion is yes and that a time-out request by this team must now come from a player on the court.
