"Yes, but will this be a carry over into the next game? You only have one pregame conference, you warn him/her on Tuesday, then Thursday, different set of umpires are
at the game, coach "no shows" for conference, another warning? This needs to be reviewed and changed somewhat.
JMHO"
Glen,
We used this rule in Pennsylvania this past year. Believe me, the coaches understood, from the very beginning. Each game resets any/all "counts" of warnings & all that.
The head coach is required to attend. So, if the head coach "no shows", then he's not coaching in that game. And since he's not a coach for that game, he's not on the bench, either.
We had very few problems with this ruling this past year. And, the only time I had to restrict a coach was in a state final. As much as I disliked doing it then - and I've known that coach for a long time & watched him do some very good things for the game - it was done.
