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.

But, in NFHS an ejected player is restricted to the bench area. I guess that was the point I was trying make. And if a state does not have a clause which suspends an ejected player, then ejection does, in essence, equal restriction to the bench.
