Asst. coach tells you before the game the HC will not make it on time. AC agrees that he will not use the coaching box and officials should not honor time-out requests from the bench (the players have been instructed to request timeouts if they hear the AC ask for one). When the HC does arrive, he will use the box and request TOs as normal.

The issue is not who will do one thing over another, the issue is that most of the time we have no idea (at least I don't) who is or who is not the coach and their role. If you never tell us, then not my issue. Even had varsity head coaches try to act like HCs during lower level games and that simply is not going to happen that way. It is not about who can request a timeout, I am just not dealing with two different styles as coaches when things go crazy. If you want all the privileges, you better be there when the game starts.
