Coaching the Coach

Is that allowed? I mainly help the goalies for the North Central soccer team. In fact, I am their goalie coach. That is my role. Today, the head coach asked me to work on something with them in particular, which I didn't think they needed more work on. In fact, he actually yelled at one of the goalies during a game for "doing something wrong" which I disagreed with.

After that game, I actually told that goalie that he did all he was supposed to do on that particular play, and that he wasn't at any fault. That meant, today, I got to have that discussion with the head coach. It was a matter of "coaching" him on what the goalie's responsibility is, and more importantly isn't, in certain circumstances. Overall the conversation went pretty pleasantly, which was good, because I enjoy helping and wouldn't have wanted to lose my job over it.
