You are just being a contrarian if you really think this is a serious question.

Not an issue here. Coaches are worried about winning to keep their jobs, not eating peanuts during the game.

It hasn't reached the closing threshold yet but it's getting close...

And he should send the ball boy anyway. God knows I can't find him.

That's the difference in our assumptions. Football is played under all sorts of different conditions. I'm used to ones where there may be a dozen other people hanging around, but they don't realize a football game is going on nearby, and the peanut vendor is there to service the people playing Frisbee on the next field.

Then you should have specified "intramural".

I had in mind the level I coach, i.e. 12Us. Other than there being a Good Humor truck rather than a peanut vendor, this approximates our conditions some of the time. An assistant coach might very well be sent across the field during a time out to buy refreshments. However, in our particular conditions the situation described would not come up, because our team bench areas are on the same side of the field, the Good Humor man on the opposite side. Still, I could easily imagine an arrangement where the teams were on opposite sidelines and the Good Humor man on one of them.

Then make your assistant coach walk around the field. He'll burn off those good humor calories that way.
