Our District Director this past season (HS, NFHS rules) made it clear that the state directed that the Head Coach must attend the pre-game conference. No questions asked. I know that there could be many circumstances that may come up to adjust this. I did not have any, but I can see some arising. For instance, I had to wait for the book to arrive one night because the coach left it home and his wife was on the way with it. Maybe the coach is single and had to go himself/herself to get it, or a car breaks down, etc. I think common sense prevails here. Things happen. However, if the head coach is in the gym and has no other reason, we are NOT ALLOWED to do the pre-game conference without him/her. I waited on more than one occasion for a head coach to come out of the locker room, bathroom, stands, etc. By doing this, we all know who the HC is and who can stand in the coaches box.
