I quickly informed him that if he was to be at the table he had to be impartial and could now stand, nor coach. He objected. I again directed that his actions were not allowed. He would need to either sit at the teams beach or sit in the stands. And if he is on the bench he is also not allowed to stand and coach. Only the Head Coach has that privileged. He was not happy with me. Did I say this was the Home Team? Oh well.....
I got lit up by my evaluator on something similar to this situation. While he wasn't coaching from the scorer's table, the varsity coach was on the visitor's book for the JV game. He had a discrepancy about the score at the half and was making a stink. Turns out he was right but my evaluator didn't like that I was letting him be there. I learned a lot about practical applications that night. Yes, the coach was right about the score, but the way he went about it was wrong and I was responsible for that. Ech! But it happened with my training wheels on and now it's one more silver bullet in my bandolier...
