You legally cannot have just anyone take over the team and finish a game. It has to be someone approved by the school and has met coaching qualifications. A school administrator or the athletic director could sit on the bench and finish the game.

A parent?" Absolutely not.

In a junior high game? Why not?

Yes.

Except it was 3 coaches who were ejected because of racial remarks and fighting. The other team behaved perfectly - didn't even raise a fist despite being charged by these "adults." At that point we had game management intervene and forfeited the game, as it was much to ugly to continue. I thought it was the right decision then, and I still do.

Did the score end as it was or was it the old fashion 2-0?

What is that suppost to mean, I know I cannot spell one bit, but you dont have to rub it in, if that is what you are trying to do.

Mr. Spelling is Chuck "Standing Tall" Elias. He usually picks up on spelling and grammar faux pas(sp?). Vertically challenged people do this very well.

You used "you're" vs "your".

Mr. Spelling's illegitimate son sez that word is supposed to be "supposed".

"Suppost" is what older people like Dan_Ref use for veryclose veins, etc.

Supphose, not suppost. Git it right, cause old people git cranky.

If that is suppost to be funny your not succeeding.

Shouldn't that be "you are not succeeding."

This happened when I was a player in sixth grade. Our coach got ejected for a second technical and we had no other coach available. We did get the finish the game.

It was just the start of the third quarter, we had ten players so it worked out just fine. The five that were in played till the 3 minute mark, the the other five came in. Did the same thing in the fourth, one group started, next group finished. We just got together as a team after coach left and did it ourselves. Still lost but got to finish.

There is no requirement that I am aware of in the NFHS book that a team MUST have a coach or an adult present on the bench to play.
There are however numerous state associations that have this requirement. Mine is one of them.
Therefore, learn your local regulations before you step onto the court and follow them.

The good old fashion 2-0.

So why don't you go **** yourself.

The one that I like the best is from ST:V. FTTDK, that is Star Trek: Voyager. In it, the (holographic) doctor replies to a threat:

Sticks and stones can't break my bones, so you can imagine how I feel about being called names.
