Confusion At the Highest Level

GV NFHS State Optional Coaches Box Rule

I was attending my daughter's Varsity game last week when this controversy developed. Home team coach is significantly pregnant and cannot stand. She tells the officials during the pregame that she is going to designate her Assistant to be the head coach and let him coach the team as she doesn't feel well. Referee's agree.

Visiting team's Assistant coach is hacked off now because they had the same situation last season and it was NOT allowed. They came to me after the game to see what I thought. I told them that I probably would've allowed it but that I would check with the assignor.

I could not get ahold of the one for that conference so I called another one I work for and he agreed to let it happen. The next game, there was a third assignor actually doing their game so the HC and I both asked him for an intepretation and he said its a No-no. So even the assignors don't agree.

What say you?
