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

[ca_rumperee]

I do exclusively Frosh and JV games. Almost always the coaching staff consists of 1 person. If you eject the coach, what happens? Site admin steps into slot? Dad from stands?

What do you need to be aware of here?

thanks.

There really is not right or wrong answer other than the one that comes from your state. Of course if there are coaches the assistants would take over. If that is not the case, only your state can tell you what is proper. Some people would not be allowed to coach and that classification would come from your state. The rulebook does not directly handle this or tell us who is allowed to coach.

BTW, we already realize by now that you are new. Why do you need to keep qualifying every post you create with the phrase "Q from 1st year?"

Peace

1 person coaching staff? Wow. I did a game tonight on the JV team, each team had 2 assistants. the Varsity had 4 or 5 assistants.

I have never done a game where there is only 1 even sub JV.

A Dad, yes. Maybe even a Mom.

Back up in the UP (and I'm sure many other places), one coach is common for sub V. I had a JV game where we gave the JV coach 2 T's and the V coach stepped in to finish the game. The V assistants are usually the F/JV coaches.

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

He can, if he's there.

Very true, but almost always no Frosh teams

seems like a way to personalize/categorize.

The reason I asked because most of the questions you ask are not unique to a first year official. This particular thread might even be asked by many veterans and has been asked by veterans on this site.

I was just curious.

If a coach is DQ'ed the assistant takes over.
If there is no assistant then the captain takes over. If the captain then gets ejected the vice captain takes over and so on.
A person not in the scoresheet (like a parent) may NOT take over the job. They are not allowed in the beanch area and may not coach the team.
This is one of the reasons why every name should be in the scoresheet before the game and also why you should always make sure the captain is marked.

Interesting insight into FIBA.
Here in the US, though, at the high school level, I have yet to hear of a single state that would allow the game to continue without an adult coach. Further, most states require this coach to have some sort of credential.

IOW, no coach = forfeit.
