Can assistant coach stand after HC ejected?
 

For some reason I cannot find this in the rule book. HC gets ejected, as the new coach can the assistant coach stand or does he also lose that privilege?

An assistant coach doesn't get promoted to head coach because his boss got tossed. He is bench personnel and gets to sit.

Thanks.

Hmm. Does that mean he cannot request TOs?

A team loses the box for the rest of the game after the first direct or indirect T on the coach.

So, no.

And I hate the seatbelt rule.

Gets to sit, sounds right. Bench personnel, not so much. I don't think this is so clear.

Besides the TO question, the AC can't go to the table for a CE? Can't enter the court to prevent a situation from escalating? Can't permit team members to leave the bench area for an authorized reason? Is not responsible for the conduct of bench personnel?

Unless a rule or case says otherwise, isn't it more appropriate to treat the AC as the HC, with the loss of the coaching box?

He is now the acting HC with the same privileges as the HC. And since HC lost coaching box privileges, the acting HC has lost coaching box privileges.

My question was really rhetorical.

End Of Discussion ...
 

Nice explanation Raymond. Simple, and to the point.

Close the thread. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here.

Got a rules citation to support that?

How about you come up with the rules citation that tells us at the new acting coach cannot request timeouts? Or how about you come up with a citation that says the new acting coach can stand up.

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)

MTD heard footsteps in his attic. It was only Bob, rooting through the boxes for that reference.

Raymond:

Very good analysis and explanation of the Rule.

Hey? You posted the interpretation before I could look it up.
