I'd mention it to the coach, and I'd include whether s/he coached the V game in my report to the state.
Don't most places in IL play the Soph game before the V game? The JVs usually play on Saturday morning or Mondday (?) nights.

This is really an issue of semantics. But most of the state calls the game before the varsity game the JV game. It seems that only the big schools and mainly the schools in the Chicago area call the prelim game the sophomore game. I think mostly because most school in our area tend to have more kids and can make a distinction between who is really the JV team and Soph team. I have a few games down south this season and they call those teams the JV team. Many places do not play JV games on Saturday morning. Many schools play a freshman game at that time. That is one of the rare times they can get an open gym at their schools. So I am sure that tjones is just referring to what goes on in the place he lives.
Back to the original post. If a coach is ejected in the JV game before the varsity game, he/she cannot participate in any varsity game for 10 days or has to sit out one JV game (or the level they were thrown out at) which ever comes first. If your crew ejected a coach during the JV game, do not allow them to sit on the bench or in the gym during that varsity game. If they insist on not leaving, just put that in the report you have to send to the IHSA and let them deal with it. They might forfeit games or lost part of the season to suspension. So usually the coaches understand the possibilities and never test that rule.
