My two cents.
In my mind there is a difference between being disqualified and being ejected. (I dont think the rule book actually distinguishes) A disqualified player to me is one who has played and now picks up his 5th personal foul, and has been DQ'd for the rest of the game.
Once a player picks up a flagrant foul or their second T, they have been ejected. The adults who are ejected leave the floor area. High School players who have been ejected have to stay on the bench (so there is adequate supervision) but they have been ejected. They will not get more than 2T's from me. I cannot find in the book where someone can pick up more than 2 because they have been ejected and are non players at that point. If an ejected player is not giving you problems from the bench area, the team has three choices, get him under control... get his parents or other competent administrator to escort/supervise the player someplace else. ( for me it doesnt necessarily need to be outside the gym... it could be one row back and just sitting with them) or we go home. Ejected players and coaches are not going to make a mockery out of a game and turn it into a circus. By issuing more than 2T's to a player that's exactly what they have done is made the game a circus.
In our state (UT) once a player has been ejected, we most notify the State Association, and the kid sits out at least one game. If he caused problems on the bench and we had to have the coach/administrator/parents take care of it, he might be out more than just one game. It would certainly be in my game report, but I am not going to look dopey by also having to include that I called 4 T's on one kid and caused ten point swing in a game.
