NFHS-2004
This year the head coach may call a time-out. Question: If the head coach is DQ'd, can an assistant coach call a time-out?

Anybody may request a timeout.
In Canadian football, timeouts are only granted if requested: - during a dead ball period - by a player on the field - and that team has a timeout left In the amateur rulebook, there are two timeouts per regulation-time half. |

I'm interested in finding out at our annual rules interpretation meeting what the state says we should do. The rule is crystal clear. ONLY the HEAD coach may call a time out. (OK, players can but that's not what we're talking about) So, if the head coach decides to sit in the press box, coach from the roof of the gym, coach from a cherry-picker, or some other apparatus of his choice to give him elevation, he forfeits his right to take advantage of this rule. That's the way it has been spelled out in everything I've read to date, including the rule book.
In the case of a DQ'd coach, there isn't a new head coach so the rule remains the same. But again, that's the rule. I'm interested to see how we'll enforce it locally. |

The interesting part of the rule is the statement that the Head Coach must be clearly seen by the official. On the wing prior to the snap I am going to be watching the LOS not the coach. I intend to clarify this point with the Head Coach in the pregame. If he wants to call a timeout just prior to the snap a player should be giving the signal.

REPLY: To back up Mike's assessment, the answer to the original question (head coach DQ'ed--can an assistant call a TO) is technically "no." But...the Federation says that if the head coach is DQ'ed, the game cannot even continue until a responsible person is assigned as the "new" head coach. Once that occurs, the game can continue and this new guy can call TO since he's no longer an assistant but rather the head coach. See the 2004 Case Book pp. 5-6 Situation 10.
