Q from 1st Year: Who coaches after you DQ a coach?

[ace]

If you toss the JV coach - why couldnt the fresh coach fill in? unless you tossed him too.

He can, if he's there.

Don't this mean that you can toss a coach in two games?
If you start of by tossing the coach of the frosh team, and the JV coach fills in. Then he manages to get tossed aswell. Then he comes back for the JVgame, and gets tossed again (he must have had a really really bad day for that to happen)
Could be intresting^^

And these are the rules
7.6 If there is an assistant coach his name must be entered on the scoresheet before the beginning of the game (his signature is not necessary). He shall assume all duties and powers of the coach if, for any reason, the coach is unable to continue.


7.8 The captain shall act as coach if there is no coach, or if the coach is unable to continue and there is no assistant coach entered on the scoresheet (or the latter is unable to continue). If the captain must leave the playing court, he may continue to act as coach however, if he must leave following a disqualifying foul, or if he is unable to act as coach because of injury, his substitute as captain may replace him as coach.

Very true, but almost always no Frosh teams

I'm reminded of a situation my first year out the shoots.

MS Game - 7th Grade games followed by 8th grade games (2 games each). 7th grade coach gets tossed by the 7th grade crew, and the 8th grade coach had to come out of the locker room to get tossed. I'm sitting behind the table with my co-official when the 8th grade coach asks the clock-op(old guy whos been doin the clock here forever form what i was told) "what'd he do tom?" "aw, you know, same old ****, trying to get to the refs and goin too far."

My co and I just had to laugh.

in california when no coaches are on the bench, because of ejection, its a forfeit. However in lower level games I dont think I would forfeit a team, if "an assisstant" happens to show up late to the game, after the ejection.

A couple years ago I was working a girl's freshman game - it was the last game of the season for both teams. There were no other games at the gym that night. No problems the whole game. Late in the 4th quarter (less than a minute to play), Team A is ahead handily (6 point lead), and has the ball in their front court. I'm trail table-side and there's a scrum for a loose ball on the baseline table side. My partner slides over table-side on the baseline and makes an out of bounds call and gives the ball to team B. There are maybe 8 seconds left in the game. He's won. He starts to chip about the out of bounds call. My partner just looks up and repeats "B ball". The coach looks at my partner, puts his hand to his throat making a choking gesture and my partner whacks him. As my partner is walking to the table to report, coach repeats the choking gesture. My partner whacks him again and he's tossed.

A couple parents come down from the stands to take over since there is no assistant coach on the bench. As my partner is administering the free throws, coach of Team B asks me to come over. She quietly asks me if either of the parents who just took over as coaches is certified by the state to coach. I say I don't know but I'll find out. So as I'm walking over to the A bench, I'm hoping that one of these guys just answers "yes" and we'll play on. Not my job to verify that they're certified. Of course they answered "no" and no one else in the gym was certified to coach. Game over. Up by 6 with 8 seconds to go, then they lose by forfeit because the coach was an idiot. What a way to end the season.

how do they prove they are "registered" -- i wouldnt even get into that -- i would just let the game end and the visiting coach can file a petition if she wants. Unless they carry membership cards and you are required to check all coaches -- thats not your responsibility.
