The replacement coach may perform only those coaching, administrative or recruiting duties, including the telephoning of prospective student-athletes, that the replaced coach is unable to perform.

Duties
Intermittent application:

The countable coach must cease participation in countable coach activities until the replacement coach concludes the practice activity.
The director of operations has temporarily replaced the head coach to pitch batting practice.
Is it permissible for the head coach to lead another drill on the field while the director of operations is participating in batting practice activities?
Case No

18. The countable coach may not conduct skill-related instruction while the replacement coach is engaged in recruiting activities, as this would result in the sport exceeding coaching limits in Bylaw
The countable coach must cease participation in countable coach activities until the replacement coach returns to campus from the recruiting trip.
The director of operations has temporarily replaced the head coach for a recruiting trip.
Is it permissible for the head coach to run practice on-campus while the director of operations is out recruiting?
Although the countable coach and temporary replacement coach are not duplicating duties
They may not engage in countable coach activities at the same time as this would result in the sport exceeding the coaching limits outlined in Bylaw
So if the replacement coach is the volunteer coach, then the head coach could engage in skill related instruction at the same time since there is no duplication of duties and they are not exceeding coaching limits
