When, or is ever permissable for a head coach to go over to R1 to question a call he/she made?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

1. In USA Volleyball, in 14 and under play, when the coach can act as the captain. And even then, that's more of a last resort. It should still go through the captain, unless it's a complicated matter that would be easier to discuss with the coach. Or, in other plan, in EXTREMELY RARE circumstances when the R1 asks the coach to come over (as in, almost never).

In my 21 years of refereeing, the second example above has happened...once.

2. In NFHS if there's a protest (review of incorrect application of rule), and even then, that's better done at the score table or coach's bench area.

Other than that, I've got nothing.

Thank you Felix, but I didn't quite get the gist of your response.
By rule, (in Fed), can the coach go over to the R1, during a time out, to discuss a call he/she made?

No.. Send the captain or the coach can talk to R2.

Absolutely not.

ok, but coach goes over to talk to R1 anyway. What's the sanction?

Also, I can't find anything in a rule book or case book on this situation.
Thanks again

Well, ideally your R2 is stopping that before it happens, but since you didn't indicate that..."it depends" in my book.

If you can get the coach before they go too far toward you, I think the stern "don't come over here" action might have a verbal warning suffice.

If they continue to ignore, yellow is certainly warranted. If they get over there, can CLEARLY here you tell them to get back to the bench, and still continue, red is not improper. If they STILL refuse to stop after you've shown red...they can hear about the result in the locker room.
