Just, (If I may adddress you by your first name, (G) )
I'm not privy to the committee's discussions, but I would surmise that we allow the young ladies to remain in the dugout after an ejection because no one wants to send an unaccompanied teen out to the team buss and later find her missing or harmed. (A sad comment on our society.)
In my area, central NC, even in baseball games(where it is not specifically allowed by rule) we don't send students away from the field after an ejection. If they have been ejected they are allowed to sit quietly in the dugout. If they cause any problems, the coach is then instructed to have an assistant coach or an adult school staff member escort the child from the field.
The difference between ejections and restrictions would be that in many leagues/conferences further penalties apply for ejections. In NC certain serious "ejectable offenses" must be reported to the state, and result in a disqualification for the next 2 games. Multiple ejections for these ofenses may result in a player or coach being disqualified for up to one year. There is also a recognization program for schools that have no ejections (players or coaches) for the year.
