Coach at start of game

[RookieDude]

Chuck...you're usually an easy going guy. What's up?

This exact situation was brought up at our last meeting.
It actually happened...Head Coach late because of a wedding.

The veterans said let the "New Head Coach" take over.
Heck, he's the Coach let him coach. He didn't start the game as an assistant, because he wasn't there...they weren't playing games, with changing coaches...he just wasn't there. Common Sense.

You make good arguments, as usual, but some believe you might be playing with words a bit when you say the Head Coach is a person and not a "positon". I think you can designate the "person" to the "postion" of Head Coach...just as you do when you have co-coaches...one is desiganted the Head Coach...ONE ONLY. So, designate the Asst. Coach as Head Coach, with all priviledges, untill the "real" Head Coach arrives...simple really.

Is the Captain of the team a person or a position?
I say s/he can be both. Just because a player is a Captain for the first game of the year...does s/he then have to be a Captain the rest of the year? The program had him/her listed!

Around these parts Varsity Coaches rate officials. Maybe that has something to do with the veterans saying let the Head Coach come in late from his wedding and Coach. It's political, but it's also using common sense according to our veterans.
