Does anyone know where to find clarification or ruling in our NFHS books or NCAA online?

Nevada got the rule reference that shows that it doesn't matter whether this guy truly is the head coach or not. Also, as Jurassic pointed out - the action probably deserves a T no matter what.
That said, I've heard this BS before. Once ejected the varsity head coach from a freshman game. When he started going on about how he was the head "of the whole program," I wanted to respond "Good - then you'll know the way out."
