Guys, the ADA doesn't apply. Trust me (as an attorney who's litigated ADA cases) on this one. Even if it did, the reasonable accomodation is the press box, not anywhere on the field. If there were never any coaches in the press box, then we might have a discussion about the merits of this situation, but since there are, case closed.

This shouldn't be an issue past scrimmages or, at worst (in the case of subvarsity), the first week of the season. Have your chapter President (or Sect.) call the state association, and demand that they handle it. Find out what they want to do and enforce it. If you don't agree with their means of handling it, then don't take the games of that school.

This coach needs to respect the game enough to know when he needs to be somewhere other than the sideline.
