They answer "We both are HC's, we do everything together, we pick the team together, we make up the plays together, we talk to the parents together, we drive to the game together ...". I compliment them on their willingness to do so but explain that, during the game, only one can be HC. They then look at each other and give me the "well we've done this all year" speech. I don't buy it. They then can't decide which one is the HC. I point to one of them, tell him he's just been named head coach for the day, you may use the coaches box, and tell the other to sit down. I'm walking away and their wives are sitting close by laughing and one says to me "maybe you can get him to make a decision, I can't".

I had a game a few years ago where the HC told me that his assistant was going to coach from the box. I told him that if he's telling me she's the head coach than that's fine, but then he would be treated just like any other assistant coach and I would be talking to her, not him. And he couldn't talk to us from the bench, either.
He changed his mind, as I knew he would. |
