After the time out, partner went and talked to the first guy, and asked for clarification. He says, "We're co-coaches so we can both request TO's and be up." Partner says no way. So the guy who had been at the coaches conference says he's the head coach. But it was the other guy that was up the most. We spoke to it a couple of times, finally got it under control.
So what's with the co-coach thing? Since when is this a good idea?!?

Juulie - as you probably know, the "co-coach" situation occurred at Oregon City HS with the girls team after Brad returned from his brief college coaching stint. The district and conference allowed this unusual situation, but he and Carl were required to indicated to the officials which one was acting as head coach for the game. As long as this happens, I think it's OK.

That's where we ended up, too, but it took us until about the middle of the third quarter. Believe me this won't happen to me again. It was a royal pain in the neck. From now on, it goes into my coaches' meeting: "So each of you ia the head coach? You may be off the bench, you may request time-outs, you may address us politely at any dead ball. Your assistants must remain on the bench, and may not address us."
