Message: [QUOTE="AD31, post: 4310888, member: 8599"] They call him a volunteer assistant but sounds more like he's just helping out the program whenever he can. The guy isn't getting paid so if he has to miss games you can't fault him. He's obviously not looking for a full time coaching job because those are usually the volunteers who are dedicated and trying to get there foot in the door. Having TD in any role especially this yr is an asset. If they need a volunteer assistant to run the box then they need to find someone else for that. I'm sure there is plenty of young former players who want to get into coaching and would love the job. Also with Gait he's the HC. Most HC allow their assistants to do their job during games. They only step in if necessary so u can't fault Gait for standing there like a HC is supposed to do. I'm sure he does plenty of coaching and makes plenty of decisions during the week. A good HC trusts his coaches. [/QUOTE]
