I would *not* treat the assistant coach as "head coach" for that night or any night, unless I am told by the team that the "assistant" will serve as the "head." To do so, IMHO, is disrespectful to the head coach. I'm going to treat the head coach as the head coach.

I'll still do all my communicating, if any, with the head coach in the wheel chair. I *am* going to make some accommodations for the head coach. For example, if the assistant coach wants to stand to get my attention or the attention of her/his team to call a TO, I'm going to allow it. But, generally, the assistant may not stand and watch/coach.
