I was doing a boys' freshman game tonight and about midway through the 3rd quarter I notice someone else is coaching the team in green. The guy I met at the start of things is still there, sitting down, but this guy must have been the head coach and he showed up late for the 5:30 game or something. But he starts in. Then he gets vocal at us (me, specifically), and during a time out I'm thinking "Now, I don't know the rulebook backwards and forwards, but doesn't it stand to reason that someone has to be designated the head coach at the start of the game and that you can't change that unless that guy gets ejected?"
That would mean that once Robin, always Robin, so you shouldn't be able to stand or to address me (I know it's a freshman game, but work with me here).
If the guy had gone any further I was going to make that point to him but I wasn't 100% sure I was on solid footing here, so I just ignored him.
Do I have a case in that instance? If I really wanted to?
He also commented on a call with a "Jesus!" If he'd have gone for the surname, I'd have nailed him (especially in the Catholic conference the game was in) but he didn't.
