But Jud, that's not what you said happened. You said, " Had a HC who was pregnant and told us prior to the game that she would be sitting but her Assistant Coach would be standing." You identified her as the head coach and then allowed her assistant coach to stand.
Now, if that's how it's going to be, you should have told her, "Only the head coach can stand. If you're going to relinquish your head coaching responsibilities to him, then he is the head coach tonight and you are an assistant."
Has someone asked, who did you recognize for timeouts? If she's the assistant, why allow her to yell at you from the bench or ask questions?
Basically, she can't have it both ways. You can't have a head coach sitting and an acting head coach standing. There's only one head coach.
