NCAA Coach

[outathm]

Thanks for all the references to what the head coach is and their job description. I also saw the ejection section and read through it thoroughly. I am wondering if the 'designated head coach' has to be an adult, or if the coach could designate a player, ie. the starting pitcher from Game 1 who is not going to play in Game 2?

Dee's reponse on page 12 answered the question. Not a player, but I wonder who is 'the institution' when the team is on the road. Can the head coach name 'Team Dad A' as the acting head coach?

This is where I have to ask...do you have a current NCAA rule book? Based on this post my suspicion is that you don't.

If I'm wrong and you do, you need to go back and read the referenced rules that were provided to you in my reply.

You'll find the exact answer to your question in the very first sentence of one of the four cited rules.

If you don't have a rule book get one. If you do, read it....especially when you are provided rule citations in answer to a sitch or question that you post.

I'm sure there may be an exception somewhere, but aren't all NCAA players "adults?" (18 or above).

I just read on another message board about a girl who graduated high school in December of her senior year and was going to play college ball this (the following) spring at age 17.

The exception that proves the rule?

I was 17 when I first set foot on campus. Granted, I turned 18 within a few weeks, but there are plenty of college students who are under 18.

Acting HC does not have to be an adult.
Acting HC can be a student, for example a student manager.
Acting HC CANNOT be a student-athlete.

My oldest was also 17 when she started college.....she did well......she is now an engineer......

Middle daughter turned 19 in September of her Freshman year.......she graduates this May......she did a year of Architecture.......the models killed her.....she actually did pretty good and and made high C's in her Studio classes.....but did not like spending 15 hours a day at the Architecture building. She graduates on May 11 in Graphic and Stuctural Design......took 5 years......but an Architecture degree was the same.......she already has a few job interviews......she has a good work ethic and a good job history.......she was not as smart as her older sister....but made it up with hard work......

They were just 12 months apart but 2 years apart in school......looking back......that was a good thing.
