Interesting question. There's no distinction in the book for "assistant coach," and often times the AC's job during the game is to keep track of things (such as a statistician.)

He'd better be holding a pad/book with some statistics on it!

Based on what? What if he left it at his seat? What if he keeps track in his head? What if he's the "manager?" What if the AC's secondary job is to wash the uniforms during the week. Doesn't that make him the manager?

I was being facetious, I don't expect to find a pencil in his ear! I don't know you tell me. As long as he is not the head coach and is at the table for a legitimate reason (and not on a regular basis) I can't see a situation where I would make a big deal about it.

Sorry, I misread (happening a lot today.) I'm with you.

Agreed. There is no real definition of an assistant coach or stat-keeper, manager, etc. They are all just bench personnel.

If it becomes a constant thing, it's worth checking with the table and/or the coach about, but otherwise, no reason to go looking for something.

The general sentiment of the NFHS is to keep the coaches away from the table during the game. As they write, to permit otherwise is to open the door for more.
My take is to not allow an AC near the table.

Three adults on the bench. Head coach and two others, all wearing matching polos. Both of the "other" personnel are keeping some sort of stats during the game, and both are also doing some individual coaching.

Allowed to approach the table or not?

serious question here, NV. How does the Fed define an AC? How are we to differentiate?

Let's put the shoe on the other foot. Why would it not be better to ask the head coach in the pregame meeting who the stat/manager is that may go to the table should info be needed? We know its not him, and if he designates one of his assistants/statisticians then anyone else is not allowed. No guesswork at that point.
