head coach

[M&M Guy]

I would have no problem if the "known" head coach decides to be the asst. for that game. I would add that if they feel they need to switch roles this game, those roles apply for the entire game.

I had a game a few weeks ago where the head coach came up to me before the game, shook my hand, and told he had been sick and shouldn't even be there that night, but he couldn't just sit at home, so his asst. would be doing the coaching tonight and he would be the asst. for that game. (I then went and washed my hands before the game started.)

It was funny to watch how the game played out - I saw the asst. (who was handling head coaching duties) yell out some instructions while sitting down, then realize he could stand up, and stood up after he was finished yelling. Of course, later in the game when it was close, the real head coach stood up to yell some instructions. As I was running by, I told him, "Careful, coach...". He looked at me, then realized what I was saying, and said, "Sorry...habit."

Ha! In my sitch the head coach stood very briefly a coupla times. At a dead ball I walked over and asked the sitting most-times head-coach.

"Now, help me out here. Who is the Head coach tonight?
Sheepishly, he pointed and answered, "He is. Sorry...."
