FWIW, If I am calling a HS game and the HC gets tossed, The adult that replaces him/her will be deemed the HC. Directs and Indirects will now go to that person as required by rule. Other HC priveleges that were available (calling TO's, standing to applaude, etc.) at the time of the ejection are also available for the new HC.

I have always thought that once the box is lost, it is lost for everyone. That being said, OHBBREF raises a valid point. I think this one is worthy of its own thread.

Let me just pose this question.

Do you really think the rules committee wants the team to gain an advantage (renewed use of the coaching box) from their coach earning a 2nd direct T?

Another scenario thats an eyebrow raiser. The assistant coach is still just that. The head coach has been tossed. The assistant is granted privledges that the HC had and didnt have prior to the tossing. One of those lost privledges the right to the box. He doesn't have that.

The way I look at it, he's filling in. He gets the same abilities the HC had when he left. He can do what the HC was able to do (request TO, stand to cheer a play, etc.), and cannot do what the HC had lost the ability to do (stand in the box).

I am in agreeance with you. I just re-read what I typed and I think I confused myself...

I knew you agreed with me on this one, I was just elaborating further.

That looks like my post. At least give me a footnote or something. :D

I don't know how.

I agree with Scratch85. :D
