Questions about coaches

[physicsref]

Here are my solutions to your questions:

1. Technically, you can't switch. However, for a middle school game or an early afternoon frosh game where these things happen, I'm going to be understanding. I don't see any need to make waves here--expecially if the coach is coaching the kids and not me.

2. During a quarter break or TO, the head coach is allowed to talk with you--politely. I wouldn't let him come all the way on to the court. It looks and feels much better for the coach to come nearer to him if he beckons. The conversation should be brief and play should resume without delay.

3. A "seat-belted" coach (or assistant coach) may rise to "spontaneously celebrate a good play", congratulate a player leaving the game, or during a time-out.
