Is it appropriate for someone to be having a "learning and teaching experience" at a level where the coach may be fired based on the team's win-loss record at the end of the year?
If I work HS varsity and D3 college games, and I am in attendance at a Big 10 game and one of the officials goes down, do you think Tom Izzo and Steve Alford are going to mind if I come down and help finish the game, or do you think they would rather have Ed Hightower and Steve Welmer finish it themselves? It would clearly be an incredible learning experience for my career.
