What gets me about this is that player C plays varsity, does the same thing as player B, and only sits one game. Player B sits 3 games for one ejection. How is this fair?
Mind you I don't support players getting ejected, but this just seems like two players doing the same thing and being punished differently for it. [/B][/QUOTE]
Since most associations limit player participation to 5 quarters total in any given game day, player B wouldn't really miss 3 full games.
To turn it around on you, suppose player B gets tossed in Q3 of the JV game, having played in 3 quarters. Is it fair for him to miss only his 2 quarters of eligibility in the subsequent varsity game and be eligible again the next game date.
Let's compromise - how about we make it subsequent games on the same game date as ejected through the next game at the same or higher level at which they regularly participate. That way player B would miss the subsequent varsity game the same evening and the JV game the next game date, but still be eligible to play 1 quarter in the following varsity game.
That's why I said I think there needs to be a clear distinction between disqualification and ejection - the latter being only for flagrant acts or repeated USC.
