Coach Ejected!

[truerookie]

Team B Head coach was ejected tonight in a JV game.

Question is: Does the assistant LOSE the coaching box too?

Since when is there an assistant's coaching box?

There is no assitant coaching box. The asst took over for the ejected coach.

Does the assistant now have the right to use the box after the HC was ejected?

Absolutely not. The assistant furthermore gets less latitude to speak than the coach had in the first place. IMHO, of course.

The assistant is now the head coach for the remainder of the game and is treated as such. He is limited to his seat seeing that a tech has been called that is directly attributed to the head coach. He however does not have a tech contributed to him for disqualification purposes. He still has two techs before he has to hit the road

The assistant coach becomes the head coach, and should receive the exact same latitude to speak as was previously granted to the former head coach. Iow, the assistant comes in with a clean slate, and his actions will determine your reactions. The only difference is the loss of coaching box privileges.

I'm not sure that I believe in the promotion of the asst coach to head coach for the remainder of the game. Perhaps the team is now simply without a head coach and is being run by the asst coach. Of course, this creates some difficulties.
1. Can anyone on the bench request a time-out?
2. Who would be charged with the direct technical foul if a DQ'd player is not replaced in 30 seconds?
3. If a DQ'd player returns to the game and participates, who would be charged with the technical foul?

Just a different perspective.

YES! The assistant coach is restricted to his/her seat.

Ok! thanks

Just a question. Since when does a sub-varsity coach even have a coaching box.
In Wisconsin only varsity coaches have that priviledge. Once it's lost by the head coach, if he is ejected his replacement doesn't have the box.

It's a state option as described in the rule book. As written by the NFHS, the state option allows all head coaches have coaching box privileges, no matter the level of play. Evidently, Wisconsin does their own thing, which is their choice.

My state has the same coaching box at all levels. What you are describing is about Wisconsin, not anywhere else unless they have a similar rule.
