IMHO, this is a game management issue. This is an unauthorized person on the court. Have him removed from the gym.
I hope you mean removed from the court. Why from the gym? Would you then bar him from re-entering for the Varsity game? Holy cow, he didn't kill anybody. He's being a clown. Ask the coach to get him off the floor and keep him off the floor. This thread is getting more ridiculous the longer it goes.
If you ejected a fan, would you still let them sit in the stands?

Fwiw, I'd do exactly what Jim suggested too. That varsity player is just another fan who came out on the floor and interfered with the game. He should be outa the gym for the duration of that game, the same as you would do for any other fan. If you don't, you legitimize the act. I could care less if his coach let him participate in the varsity game after that; there's a report going in anyway on it. The idea is to have a little deterrance go along the act, instead of not doing anything - which is exactly what letting him sit in the stands is imo.
