I agree with you substantially on what the rule book states. However You dont report all disqualified personnel to the State Association. You report the ones who were tossed from the game, (the flagrants and the the 2T's). So I think it maybe more of philosophy on my part to make the distinction. But if you check closely NF does use the term ejection when coaches are sent from the gym (page 61 and 62) players arent ejected anymore since they are not sent out. I also think that in some circumstances NF words things poorly in the name of simplicity or for political correctness so that we do not hurt someone's feelings by ejecting them.
My biggest point was that in response to post I think the maximum number of T's a player and coach can get is two (direct) and that anybosy who wants to give a player their third or fourth T as was suggested is making as much a mockery out of the game as the clown doing it and the officials have stooped to gutter with them. THe rules dont specifically prohibit a referee from calling more than 2 T's on a player but it does specifically allow it. Snce it is not specifically allowed I will not put my self in a situation where the game is a circus, and we are shhoting tons of extra free throws cause a kid is a jerk. They will deal with him.
