He did this the first time we played this team, and I thought maybe he was an assistant coach. This was why I couldn't figure out why the officials were chatting with him at half time. I was thinking "why are officials talking to an assistant coach at halftime after they already gave him three warnings?"

So I decided to stretch my legs and see what was going on. It was then I learned he was just the pastor and not an assistant. *shrugs* I'm still not not sure why officials would allow someone who really shouldn't be on the bench (based on my interpretation of NFHS 1-13-1 and 4-34-2) behave in a way that earned him three separate warnings. Oh well, water under the bridge now.
