There is always a person acting as coach. Anyone else is just bench personnel. When the acting head coach is required to leave the game (DQ'd, injury, sickness, etc.), someone else becomes head coach. The current/acting head coach has all rights and restrictions of the position. Any restrictions imposed (coaching box/seat belt) apply to the position of head coach, not to the person acting as head coach....and, thus, apply to anyone who assumes the head coaching duties.
