How bout cause that's the rule?!?! The rule book reserves that privilege for the HEAD coach, and if he gets run, the ASSistant still does not become the HEAD coach.
That may be your interpretation, but it certainly isn't mine.... and I don't think your interpretation reflects the spirit of the rule. The new coach most certainly can call a time-out in my game. To do otherwise is looking for trouble and being overly officious IMHO.

I cannot speak for anyone else. This was asked of someone from our area to give an interpretation. It was made clear that the officials should allow the AC all the privileges of the HC if they were ejected. I really couldn't care less what someone says about this on an internet site. It makes for an interesting conversation, but it is based on nothing.

Peace
