Head coach sits upstairs where the time keeper box is, assistant coach in the box - it's a better view of the ground overall upstairs, can see the game unfold and better see players running patterns etc.
Coach relays his messages via the radio to the assistant coach who then in turn sends the runner out or delivers the message/change to the player on the bench.

smart move..i theorised about coaching from the kenilworth scoreboard back in the day..you definitely get a better look at structures etc with the extra height but you also arent at the coal face and i think thats important as well..

Rexy used to do the same from our timekeepers box.

The Tea Tree Gully Runner in 8 Reserves on the weekend seemed to take this one step further and had a two way radio out on the ground with him that seemed to be relaying messages from the coaches!

Something big must have happened here.

Apparently a player was flirting with someone he wasn't meant to and a big blue happened.

Just what I was told tonight by a someone who works with the b grade coach
