coach leaves

[Hawks Coach]

to understand the significance of a rule that zsome wish to enforce here. We have schools with limited athletic budgets. They try to give as many kids as possible some HS playing time. JV coach is varsity assistant coach - this is the most important job he has. These games really count.

Now we have this JV game. There is usually a reason that the JV head coach is the varsity assistant, and the JV assistant is the JV assistant with no varsity duties of significance. JV ead coach leaves, 9 times out of 10 that means his kids are getting a lower level coach. why do we punish them further by constraining that coach to a seatbelt because he can't be the "head coach." There is a reason to restrict who stands, but once again, the NFHS rulebook is not meant to be used in this manner to handle these kind of situations. Please allow a little judgment and common sense to come into play.

Who have you harmed, and in what specific way, if you allow the assistant to become the head coach and stand?
