Forgive me, but this getting silly. The HC (for each team) is the primary supervisor of HIS team on the field. If a situation (ANY SITUATION raising ANY matter of safety or crowd control requiring the attention of field officials stopping play) should be explained to BOTH coaches, as getting the teams off the field may be appropriate). Whether the individual Coach decides to deal with the problem or refer handling to someone else (Administration, Security, Etc) is HIS decision, and it makes COMMON SENSE that he fully understands what the problem is AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, as he is directly responsible for the safety of 40+ large and often emotional teenagers.
How things are done in Georgia is limited to Georgia, but I cannot conceive a Coach ANYWHERE who would not be (unnecessarily) ticked off in being IGNORED about whatever (problem) might be going on. AS ALWAYS, the sooner BOTH Coaches are advised of ANYTHING unusual going on even potentially affecting the game, THE BETTER.
Most often, in situations like this, Coaches can be extremely helpful in maintaining control control and minimizing the problem.
Absolute nonsense. Some students are in the end zone throwing snowballs at the opposing team's band, or even into the end zone. As the head coach, I couldn't care less. It's not my problem, I don't want to be bothered with it. I have other things to do, I'm not responsible for those kids, it's a game administration issue, find the game administrator.
Yes, I'm responsible for my team. I am NOT responsible for crowd control. I am NOT responsible for the PA announcer. I am NOT responsible for the photographer standing too close to the goal line. I'm not even responsible for helping you find someone that is. If they are bothering you or your administration of the game, then it's between the officials and game administration. By all means, talk to the game admin and have them satisfy your needs, I encourage it. That's why they are there.
I am responsible for receiving the warning that there will be a penalty if the band doesn't playing during live balls. That penalty affects my team, so I will make sure that is handled.
If you are stopping the game for these issues, fine, tell me that, that affects my team. But don't expect me to go find game administration for you, it's not my job. I'll worry about my team, as you said I should, while you and the game admin worry about whatever issue is the problem.
That's the reason we have game administrators, so coaches can coach and not have to worry about things that are outside the lines or the team box.
