Musical Coaches ...
Observed a junior varsity game a few nights ago.
First period, female adult junior varsity "head coach" (no other adults on the bench) is coaching, instructing players, calling plays, requesting timeouts, standing within the coaching box, etc. Second period, male adult is doing all of the above. Adult female is now sitting quietly on the bench. I inquired about this at the junior varsity halftime and was told that the adult female was the varsity head coach and that she informed the junior varsity officials that the adult male junior varsity (head) coach would be late due to rush hour traffic problems. Purpose and intent, I have no problem with this in a junior varsity game. How about a varsity game? Would anybody have a problem with that? Note: I know that we've discussed co-head coaches here on the Forum, and decided that only one of the pair would be allowed the rights and privileges of the head coach, no switching back and forth.

In A Game That Really Counts ...
Quote:
I really want to know about the same situation in a varsity game. Do we make the inexperienced junior varsity coach coach the entire varsity game if the real head coach is a few minutes late? In a game that really counts?

Whoever is standing and acting like a varsity coach at the beginning of the game is going to be treated just like that unless there is some unusual situation or circumstances like the coach has to leave for medical reasons. Otherwise, if you start standing and acting like a HC, I am not going to treat the other person like a HC in the middle of the game. And that is what I am going to do at any level. Unless you have some precedent or policy that says otherwise, that is what I am doing.
Peace

I am sorry, but there are no Acting HCs. I do not care if this a JV game, a Varsity should know how to conduct him/herself as HC.

If the real head coach is running late to the game I am not penalizing him when he gets there by not allowing him to take over as the head coach. That is not the intent of the rule.
However, any bench Ts assessed prior to his arrival will be indirect to him and he will be sitting. |

I'll be honest, I don't understand this comment. I didn't read in the OP that the varsity HC acted improperly or was unsportsmanlike or anything. She just performed normal HC duties since the actual HC wasn't there yet. Upon his arrival, he assumed his duties and she properly became a silent assistant. I mean, if the HC was there but just let her run the show till he decided to speak up, I'm with you, but he physically wasn't even there.

Haven't really ran across it in basketball but had a handful of times in baseball (summer, not school) where the nominal HC isn't really the HC, but he was the guy at the plate meeting. Last summer, 3B coach doesn't like a call and begins to come down when I said "coach, return to your box, if the head coach has a question, I'll discuss with him". He says "I AM the head coach". I took particular pleasure in answering back "You weren't at the plate meeting, sir, so not for this game you're not". He stopped, recognizing I had him on that, but I could tell he was absolutely fuming inside as his hapless assistant/nominal HC came out to get the explanation. Which pleased me to no end. |

Yea, they were both there, i was just throwing that out as an example when the HC is acting as an asst and behaves like he thinks he's still HC. Now I'm muddying the waters!

Not really. Here on the Forum we have discussed co-head coaches in a basketball game, and decided that only one of the pair would be allowed the rights and privileges of the head coach, no switching back and forth during the game. I believe that any Forum discussion regarding this implied that both were physically at the site.
