Of course, in my district the teams are so small numerically that the sideline issue is not a problem. Most teams have only 2 coaches that coach JV, one is on the field, and the other is the bench coach. The players do a good job of staying behind the line.
That's nuts. It sounds like youth football. I don't work much of that anymore, but I used to tell the coach on the field his only job out there is to coach the players -- any yelling at the officials will likely result in a USC flag.

Some places got it, some didn't. Those that didn't, I didn't go back there.

Around here, coaches on the field stops at 6th grade or so.
