I also have another situation that I ran into last year with a kid playing for his high school team that was deaf. Hear in Missouri there is the Missouri school for the Deaf that participates regualarly in MSHSAA competion and there is no problem because the coaches can comunicate with them in sign language. The situation I had was not with them but with a class 5 High school with only the one kid. The coach never mentioned this to us prior to the game so it was sort of surprising when there was a 2nd person(coach) standing in the coaches box. Actually, there was also another person running the other side of the floor to comunicate with the kid as well. Once we figured out the reasoning for this we allowed it to continue and just ask them to stay as far back as far as they could and on the bench side stay seated as much as possible.( I didn't want to tell them they couldn't stand or translate for the kid so that he wouldn't be able to play).

Just sort of wondering what everyone would have done in that situation.

THank.
