I had a similar situation a few years ago. The coach was ejected (3 technicals DIRECTLY to the coach, but that is another story) and there was no asst. coach. A father in the stands offered to coach but I politely told him "no" - a coach MUST be approved by the school district (and in NY all coaches must have taken a first aid course and be certified in CPR). I made note of the time remaining, the score, and who had possession and then the game ended. I left it up to the league (HS JV game) to determine what to do next.

By the way, since the coach was ejected, he was also suspended for the next game of the season. The league forfeited the game since this coach's team was down by 5. The next day I received a call from the school district's athletic director who apologized to me for the behavior of the coach.
