We have a team that has co-head coaches.  I swear there was a rule in the FED book that said they must designate who is the "head" coach for the game at the pre-game conference, but I can't find it.  They both come out for the pre-game conference.  These two like to both come out and argue plays, one might come out one time and another will come the next time.  Anyone know which rule it is?  Thanks

That's easy. I did this in a hockey game a few years ago. Both douchenozzles insisted that they were "co-coaches". I told them to pick one that wanted to speak on behalf of the team. They refused.

Or... wait until one comes out on a play and tell him that the *other* coach is the "head coach" for this play and refuse to discuss it until #1 leaves and #2 comes all the way out.

They can be "Co-coaches" all day long.  Share in decisions, strategy, substitutions, post-game dinner spot, etc.   But only ONE, and ONLY ONE, speaks for the team during the game.   Pick one, or s

Btw - it's 3-2-4. THE head coach must attend....

Excellent.

Or say only one of them can come to the plate meeting, then be sure to designate the one that stays in the dugout as head coach. Mr. Dugout is restricted and Mr. Plate Meeting is an assistant.

No arguments (theoretically) and no paperwork :)

If they both attend the meeting ask which one of them is 51% head coach today.  Maybe 49% guy can be HC tomorrow.  Try to have fun w/ it if possible. 

 

What fun is that? bam's was fun.

We have a team that has co-head coaches.  I swear there was a rule in the FED book that said they must designate who is the "head" coach for the game at the pre-game conference, but I can't find it.  They both come out for the pre-game conference.  These two like to both come out and argue plays, one might come out one time and another will come the next time.  Anyone know which rule it is?  Thanks

 

There isn't one.

 

And it's the AD's job to designate the coaches (and pay them accordingly), not the game official. So ask the AD. If he's paying them both the same coaching salary then they're co-coaches.

 

If you have co-coaches you have co-coaches.

Not in terms of some specific game responsibilities.

Pick one, or suffer the Bam-a-quences.

I'm not having that discussion w/ an AD. Frankly I don't care if they're co-head coaches on paper. I'm dealing with one. They can decide which one, but I will determine that at the plate meeting.

Restrict one, get Neo to the plate.

 

I prefer Trinity personally, easier on the eyes.

 

Suffer the Bam-a-quences. That is beautiful.

We dealt with this in basketball a few years ago.  Both were listed as head coaches by the school athletics dept and were both paid accordingly.  Both wanted to be able to stand in the coaches box and address officials.  We were eventually told by assignor to just T the second one to try and stand in the box (assistant coaches must remain seated on the bench other than during time outs).  They worked something out where one acted as head coach for home games and the other away games.  I think these guys can work out something similar.

This is my question, so if there is one of those odd Fed infractions where the head coach gets dumped, do both coaches get dumped because they are both listed as "head coach"?

Don't let it get that far.  Make them pick one.
