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.

The female Varsity HC is the Jr. Varsity HC for the entire JV game.
