Agreed. I just hadn't thought of it from a rules book perspective, but there is no requirement I've found that a team have a coach at all...

Not from the NFHS, but if your state requires one (and I don't know of a state that doesn't require a coach) you could justifiably call this T for delaying a full minute at the start of the half. If your state requires a coach, the team is not ready to play if the coach isn't present. I'll need to check the wording of the rule to varify this, though.

Agree with you completely.
