“I thought I was a head coach when I played, probably to the dismay of some of my teammates. I acted like it a little too much,” Diebler said, smiling afterThis time Diebler was the actual acting head coach, called upon to run the show after Chris Holtmann and top assistant Ryan Pedon were ruled out for the game due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Holtmann, meanwhile, was sitting at home, or rather “standing and yelling at the TV,” as junior E.J. Liddell said likely was the case, and his hunch later was confirmed when a Twitter video appeared of Holtmann rocking back and forth on his feet while watching the game on multiple large-screen TVs and pulling for his players like a sports dad sitting in the stands.“They all did an excellent job today,” Holtmann texted. “More importantly, the was really good. Proud of Jake and happy for him.
Mostly Diebler came to realize that the few inches separating the head coach’s chair from the assistants’ feels more like a half-court heave in terms of job description, responsibility and voice box wear and tear.
