This came up last night

[Mark Padgett]

We had our season ending annual meeting of our local kids rec league Board last night. One of the things we do is discuss situations that came up during the season. In one game (I think 6th grade boys) both the coach and the AC were ejected (no, it wasn't my game, darn it). Our rule is that the game can continue if one of the parents comes down and sits on the bench for the rest of the game. We don't want to take playing time away from the kids just because the adults act like jerks. This has happened about once every 4 or 5 years, so it's not too common.

One of the guys at the meeting asked what the NF rule would be if both the head coach and the AC were ejected. Could the trainer or someone else take over? What's the rule?

BTW - we voted to take coaching privileges away from two guys because of problems we had with them this past season. Believe me, the problems with these guys were pretty serious for us to do something like that regarding volunteer parents.
