under FIBA rules...
(7.6) If there is an assistant coach his name must be entered on the scoresheet before the beginning of the game. He shall assume all duties and powers of the coach if, for any reason, the coach is unable to continue.
(7.8)The captain shall act as coach if there is no coach, or if the coach is unable to continue and there is no assistant coach entered on the scoresheet (or the latter is unable to continue). If the captain must leave the playing court, he may continue to act as coach. If he must leave following a disqualifying foul, or if he is unable to act as coach because of injury, his substitute as captain may replace him as coach.
However for the youth (club), JrH & HS leagues we officiate an adult must be on the bench. In the case of JrH & HS, there must be at least 1 school employee on the bench either as HC, AC or team follower.
This game would have been a forfeit under the rules of the game we officiate.
