Head coach arrives late

[tlavan]

In PA, this would not be an issue, because we have a MANDATORY captains meeting at which the 'HEAD COACH' must be present.....and if the real HC is absent due to being late, then the HC for that game is the coach attending the captains meeting........

If we are talking regular season this is the case here too, but not sure there are any rules that cover this situation specifically so it would be up to the officials to decide what we allow the actual HC to do if he/she shows up. I would assume that in the meeting we would find out that is not the real HC, but there are places you might go and have no idea who that is unless you probe and ask further.

Connecticut (only) rule:

Captains-Head Coaches-Officials pre-game meeting should occur prior to start of game. If the head coach
refuses to attend the meeting, notify Board Commissioner, who will notify the school athletic
director and CIAC.

I think there's a big difference between "refuses" and "gets stuck in traffic and arrives late"

In our state we are supposed to fill out a Special Report (used for unsporting and many unusual situations) if a HC does not attend the captain's and coach's meeting, but my understanding that is only for if the coach is present. If the coach is not there because of some delay or other unusual situation, I do not think I would even bother to contact the state.
