I can understand not letting the "new" coach get coaching box privileges, but why would you want to deny the "new" coach the opportunity to call a time-out?

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 would have to agree. To deny the AC his rights would put the officials in a tough spot.
What about a disqualified player - who is going to put the substitute in the game?
And who are you going to notify before starting the 30 second clock?
And I'm sure there are many other ramifications that I can't think of right now.
In our area, the AC becomes the HC at that point. As far as the seat belt rule, I would think that would depend on the officials at the game to make that call.
Thanks
