Coach
A Coach is a person primarily responsible for directing and guiding the play of the team. Along with the Manager, the Coach is responsible for the conduct of the team's players before, during and after a game.
Coincident Penalties
Penalties of equal type (e.g., minor or major) assessed to each team during the same stoppage of play. Coincident penalties do not have to be the same type of infraction (e.g., slashing and hooking can be coincidental), nor do they have to have occurred simultaneously. A coincident penalty never causes a team to be shorthanded and therefore cannot be terminated by a goal being scored. Players serving coincidental penalties will always have to wait for a stoppage of play to return to the surface. Equal numbers of minor and major penalties assessed to each team can be coincidental, regardless of the number of players involved (e.g. one player on Team A receives two minors and two players on Team B receive one minor each, two penalties for each team are coincidental and neither team is shorthanded as a result). No penalty time should be shown on the score board for coincident penalties.
