[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I know that I stated at the beginning of this thread that I would eject the coach for his actions and that Chuck does not think that ejection is required. Some of the posts since Chuck's while not personal in nature are kind of over the top in defending the position of ejecting the coach in this situation.

In this situation, my first inclination would be to eject, but I also believe that Chuck's position can be defended. It is my opinion that this is really a "you had to be there and see it" situation before the decision to eject or not to eject can be made. My own inclination would be to not eject if it were bench personel other that a coach (head or assistant) and to eject if it were a coach (head or assistant). It is a terrible act no matter who commits it, but coaches need to be held to a higher standard of conduct because they are to be leading by example.
