I don't know if this would change anything for anyone, but around here it is not uncommon for the small schools to only have one coach, even at the varsity level. I have seen numerous occasions where the head coach was ejected and the principal or some other school official had to step in and finish the game as the (head?) coach.

I would classify this under the Duck Rule.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck; it's a howler monkey.
