I have had deaf players and had the signer on the sideline. Given what happens on the bench I have no problem with a translator standing there as long as it is all they do for the head coach.

If they are acting as an assistant standing alone and telling the player something and coach has not said anything I may question it.

Have them go from baseline to baseline- NO WAY. One team can not have an advantage. You can see sign from a distance. There are coaches thatwrite play #'s on samll whiteboards to signal.

The bottom line is that there cant be an advantage over the other team using commn sense.
