When does designated bench personnel become the HC following DQ of the HC?

Instead, I would include it all in my incedent report to the UIL which will get the HC in a lot of hot water for acting a fool after being ejected. Don't know what processes there are in other states, but it sure limits those kinds of problems with coaches here.

I'm using the logic of when a disqualified player becomes bench personnel to this situation.

A disqualified player becomes bench personnel at the point the head coach has been notified. So If the disqualified decides to make a remark to the official on his way to the bench, after the HC has been notified, that is an indirect on the HC even if it occurred before the player was off the floor.

Using that logic, if the HC has been DQed and de ides he needs to take another shot at the officials before leaving, I'm hanging that as an indirect on the newly anointed replacement HC.
