Again, speaking NFHS, the NFHS rule book makes a clear distinction between a restriction to the bench and an ejection. See NFHS rules 2-19, 2-48, and 3-6-20. Ejection is a more serious sanction than restriction.

All states that I know of (which, I admit, is only a few) suspend ejected players, but not restricted players.

NFHS does make a concession to the in loco parentis responsibilities of the schools by not requiring minor children to leave the area. But that does not make ejection = restriction to the bench.
