I mean, I can wait until halftime and tell the JV officials to tell the JV HC that the VHC can be removed from the gym and possibly not be able to attend his game. But what if his actions are so bad that I want to get it stopped before I can talk to the JV officials?

I would not do this at all. Give the JV officials advice in the locker room if you want and then let them live and die by what they decide to do. It's not your game yet and doesn't warrant you getting involved IMO.

Now, if you want to have a shorter leash for the varsity coach in your game, I would fully support that.

So, if they ask, you'd let them know they can have the VHC removed from the gym like any other "fan"? Otherwise, let them sink or swim?

BTW, I'd definitely have a shorter leash for that coach.

Yes. I would ask them why they aren't dealing with it, advise that they do, and whatever happens, happens. I'm not going to "come to the rescue" when I don't have authority over the game at hand. At most, I might say something to the AD about the behavior, but I'm certainly not going to demand the offenders' removal from a game that I'm not calling.

And we all seem to be on the same page that the varsity coach would be on a very short leash during his game.
