OK, this doesn't really apply to a deafness situation, but I T'd up a coach, and when he refused to sit down he cited the reason that he suffAered an injury to his tailbone and is unable to sit for long periods of time.
Now I agreed to let him stand and told him that if he mentioned another word about the quality of officiating I'd toss him, and he was quiet for the rest of the game.
Would you have let him stand??

Last Year AA Girls OFSAA there was a team with an assistant coach who couldn't sit (same reason). This was explained to our evaluators and our evaluators said he could stand provided we didn't hear anything from him (as he was the asst. coach). I had no problems in my games (I think I had them twice in the tournament).
Basically if it is for some legitamite reason - and I think Tailbone injury is one of the only legitamite reasons - you can allow them to stand.
For you it was the head coach - in that case with a T give him a very small standing box (don't allow him to wander). Just tell him - sure I'll allow you to stand but it must be in front of this chair.
