what happens if a team doesn't have a coach on the bench?
does that team forfeit? or can the team captain act as coach? |
In order to answer your question, we'd have to have more specific information, such as:
1. What program - HS, college or rec 2. What state 3. etc. |
oophs...
NHSF rules in IL. sorry forgot to mention that. a friend asked me about that. i told him i would forfeit the game. but, after thinking about, i wasn't sure that is correct.

If it's during the season, end the game. Let others (copnference, state, etc.) rule on whether it's a forfeit. |
should have said...
during the season. in the summer i wouldn't worry about it. but, the original question was for during the season. so, we should end the game then. what if the team who was in the lead lost it's coaching staff. is it forfeited to the other team?

Not your decision,John. Don't forfeit. Just write "game "suspended" on the scoresheet,give the circumstances and put down how much time was left in the game. Whovever has the responsibility for that league then should make a decision. Go have a brownpop and don't worry about it. |
thanks...
so, we just suspend the game. that is interesting. thanks for the information.

If it's summer league and all the players are under 21, make sure there is an adult on the bench for the game. That person has to take responsibility for what happens if someone gets hurt. They, not you, should make any decisions in that area.
Please note this is not legal advice, but a rule we enforce in all the rec leagues around here. Ask game management what you should do in your case. |

I don't know the "right" answer for your rules but in FIBA the cpt is allowed to be a "playing coach" and he can also be replaced by another "playing coach" and so on

Imagine a world without coaches...........

How timely, I just had this come up a couple of weeks ago. A coach decided to get himself dismissed from a weekend tournament game (after the first T, he proceeded to tell my partner and I we were "friggin terrible and were friggin terrible the 3 times he had us). This was a early high school team (freshman or sophmores) so with no coach on the bench, I told them the game was over. Luckily someone's dad came and sat on the bench (quietly, thankfully) to finish the game. Had no one come forward, I would have talked to the site supervisor and probably called the game rather than play with no coach. First coach I've ever had to run and hopefully the last. As they say "when in Rome" (Can I use this here, even though it's an Anchorman reference?).
