Non Varsity coach bench position

[bainsey]

If I have an issue with an assistant coach, I'll talk about it with the head coach. I had one A.C. last year that was standing to coach a couple of times, but a visit with the head coach ("control your bench") took care of that.

I also had one a few weeks ago, a middle school game where the coaches didn't know that rule. No biggie. Still, there was a spectator I knew who had officiated that tried to tell me and my partner after the game that the A.C. couldn't be at the opposite end of the bench as the H.C., as it creates "an unfair advantage." No such NFHS rule exists. Anyone ever hear of this?

Yes, but not from an "ex-official" those comments generally come from the BCF!
