If I recall it is allowed in NCAA games, but if one coach gets 2Ts the other one has to go out the door with him.

I've never heard of this, Nevada. I don't think NCAA allows co-(head)coaches. Could be wrong, I guess, but that would really surprise me.

Ah, Chuck, how could you doubt me? I'm so hurt.

Holy smokes, Batman! There's co-head coaches over there!

The games that started this thread turns out there were "co-head-coaches". My partner was the R. He had not clarified who was head coach. The guy who was at the coaches' conference was up for the first few minutes of the game. Then the other guy asks for time out. I thoughtlessly gave it to him, then realized I shouldn't have. After the time out, partner went and talked to the first guy, and asked for clarification. He says, "We're co-coaches so we can both request TO's and be up." Partner says no way. So the guy who had been at the coaches conference says he's the head coach. But it was the other guy that was up the most. We spoke to it a couple of times, finally got it under control.

So what's with the co-coach thing? Since when is this a good idea?!?

Juulie - as you probably know, the "co-coach" situation occurred at Oregon City HS with the girls team after Brad returned from his brief college coaching stint. The district and conference allowed this unusual situation, but he and Carl were required to indicated to the officials which one was acting as head coach for the game. As long as this happens, I think it's OK.

That's where we ended up, too, but it took us until about the middle of the third quarter. Believe me this won't happen to me again. It was a royal pain in the neck. From now on, it goes into my coaches' meeting: "So each of you ia the head coach? You may be off the bench, you may request time-outs, you may address us politely at any dead ball. Your assistants must remain on the bench, and may not address us."

Had this happen a couple of years ago in a JVG game. My partner and I went over to introduce ourselves. There were 2 very attractive female coaches. I was the R and when I asked who was the head coach, one of them smiled wickedly and said "we are co-coaches and we share everything". I guess I must have blushed because the other coach started laughing and said "it works everytime". I did manage to find out who was the HC for that game. My partner cracked up laughing at me when she made her comment.
