Actually, the NFHS does NOT require a team to have a coach at all. Of course, a team is permitted to have one if desired. Therefore, one will not find an NFHS rule regarding who can take over when the coach(es) are disqualified.

Any such rule is definitely under the auspices of the state association or local league/school district.
