If that were not the case, many parts of the rule book would be impossible to follow...
Does that mean, if the head coach is ejected, there is no one to notify and, as such, a player can never be disqualified (since a player isn't disqualified until the coach is notified)?

If a disqualified player subsequently participates, who do you charge that T to? The rules specify the "head coach".

Also, the book uses "head coach" and just "coach" interchangeably throughout....

Note here is uses only "coach" where the same thing, in a different part, uses "head coach" (above).

For that matter, the only place "assistant" is mentioned anywhere in the book is in the technical foul summary.

The implications throughout the book are that there is always a "head" coach. Sometimes, they use just "the coach". It is just that one the box is lost for the game, the box is lost for whoever is the current head coach.

I cannot even believe that some veterans try to split hairs the way they do. It is just funny on so many levels.

Really, we are worried about if the new HC can request a timeout? WOW!!!!

Peace

My take is the following:
Once the head coach is ejected, all of the privileges associated with such a position are lost to the team.
I will not be granting a time-out request from anyone on the bench. I will also not charge indirect technical fouls to anyone on the bench. The team simply doesn't have a head coach for the rest of the contest.

Text me at halftime when you've ejected a head coach cuz I wanna come watch that second half!

Whom will you notify when a player fouls out? Whom will you penalize when they fail to provide a sub?

wait-- are you being sarcastic??? I hope so-- previous post indicates clearly there is an expectation that someone pick up on the responsibilities of HC.

"(From 2--1-2002:SITUATION 9: At the end of their pre-game warm-up, players Al, A4, A5, A9 each dunk the ball and subsequently leave the floor and go to their dressing room. RULING: A technical foul is assessed each player. The game starts with eight (8) free throws (2 for each of the technical fouls) and the ball is awarded to B at the division line opposite the table. Four team fouls toward the bonus are assessed to A. The head coach of A is assessed an indirect technical foul for each offense (4) and is subsequently ejected from the contest. Any coach assuming the responsibilities of the head coach for the game would not have the use of the coaching box. (10-3-5; 10-5 Pen)"

I'm sure our Georgetown law graduate will find some nonsensical reason why this isn't applicable.

Forgive me while I laugh completely out loud!!!!

All the moralizing about the rules and this is what you come up with?

Peace

You must be kidding. Normally, you make good points, however, your position on this is utter nonsense.

Consider the point I made earlier....if there is no head coach, you can't legally disqualify any player after the head coach is ejected since the head coach must be notified before the disqualification becomes official. Are you going to let that player continue to play?

MTD, Sr.

We occasionally have some ridiculous threads on this forum. But this one might take the cake.

I can't believe that the idea of not granting the acting head coach a timeout is even a discussion. And I can't believe that there are actually forum members who think that way.

Sarcasm ???
 

Nevadaref has got to be yanking our chains. He's smarter than that, much smarter.

I'm willing to bet his keyboard doesn't support typing in a blue font.

I'm waiting on him to tell us the answer to a few questions directed his way.

I'm older than MTD, and I don't have a Jr around the house to ask: what does blue font signify?
