Sick head coach

Head coach tells me in pregame that he is sick and may have to leave during the game, in which case his assistant will take over the head coaching responsibilities. I said uh.....alright. Can a head coach do this?
Secondly, if he relinquishes his head coaching duties to his assistant, but later in the game feels better and comes back can he then resume being the head coach again.

I do not see any problem with the head coach leaving because of health issues, then returning at a later time.

Yes, and yes.

The rules require one adult as head coach. Don't be a plumber about the rest.

If he has a note from a doctor and can provide you proof of immunizations and his full medical history he can come back. Make sure he's not wearing any jewelry.

Silly coach ought to know better than to plan a date for a game night. What was he thinking?

This is a bit of a long story but is Germaine to this discussion. My daughter plays varsity basketball. I tend to do mostly JV games so I can hustle over to watch her games when I'm done. Last year I walked into the gym during a time out. The administering official is someone I've worked with quite a few times. He calls me over to ask my opinion. The Hc for the other team is pregnant and not feeling well, so she asked if her AC could be the HC instead. He told her sure as long as he didn't hear from her all night. apparently my daughter's HC is upset. Apparently during the state tourney last year she asked for the same courtesy and the R told her no.

As soon as the game was over, both the AC and HC made a beeline for me to see what I thought. I agreed with how my buddy handled it but told them I would check with authorities. I spoke to 3 different assignors and 1 state rules interpretor and got 2 different answers.
One said there should be no courtesy, and all the others agreed with my buddy.

You fail to sense the convenient similarities of being both an official and a plumber.
I often put up with a lot of ?%$* on the job during the day, I sometimes take a lot of ?%$* on the court at night. Easy transition from my day job to my night job.
And that ?%$* I'm talking about is my bread and butter.
Before you besmirch my beloved trade again, just remember -- every time you flush you put food on my family's table.
Next time you're sitting on the can reading your latest issue of Referee, maybe you'll be just a little more grateful for guys like me.
Don't degrade my trade. Better to say "Don't be a chemist from Connecticut about the rest."

You fail to see the difference. On your day job, you (sometimes) go looking for ****. As an official, we shouldn't do that.

Though in all fairness, this one was just three minutes after the one he was referring to.

So no potshots about padding posting totals this time, OK?
