Absolutely you can do it. Any coach that is ejected is done for the rest of the day and the next game at that level.
Whoa.....

That decision is entirely up to the individual league, state office, whatever. It's never an official's decision. We have no rule book backing to suspend anyone from their next game, no matter how much we'd like to.

Handle with care.
You're right you're right..my mistake. Brain fart for a minute. I deleted the post. Sorry guys.
No problem; I don't think you had to delete the post. We're all here to learn, and goodness knows I've made my share of mistakes. (Pre-emptive: shut up.)

But JR has it right - there's no rule book basis for preventing a coach or player to participate in future games. Now, if you've received word from your league or assignor that you have that authority, then by all means take care of it. But that's usually handled at the upper levels and not at our game level.
