Since HS players are minors and require supervision we don't impose the penalty of "ejection" on a player. A player is "restricted to the dugout". An adult (coach or other bench personnel) can be ejected. NFHS also allows us the intermediary penalty of a restriction to the dugout for the adult personnel.

Never had to deal with it, but didn't care that the players were a minor. Some of those little shits can act up to the point they need to go. And if that is the case, send them. It ISN'T the umpire's responsibility to babysit them, it is the coach's LEGAL responsibility.
