The assistant can coach from the bench. Not a problem as far as I'm concerned as long as he or she is coaching players. As far as the working lower level discussion, I'm phasing out the lower level games slowly. I tend to have "rabbit ears" when working them. I put up with far less complaining from a Freshman coach than a varsity coach. I guess I look at it as though the lower level kids are there to learn the game primarily. Coaches and players should be concerned with learning to play the game, not what I'm doing. If we can teach them proper sportsmanship then, we hopefully won't have to use a T to teach them in a varsity game when the stakes are a little higher.
