The point I was trying to make is: The "indirect" and "direct" T's assesed to the coach vary depending on what has happened. A lot of new guys, and some vets forget there is a distinction.
If players comes off the bench they get 1 t and are ejected, but the coach gets a single indirect no matter the number of players leaving the bench. If they then get invovled it is a direct, not an indirect, to the coach for each instance of participation.
So, if 4 guys come off, it is one indirect, to the coach; if two participate in the fight, two directs are assesed to the coach, he is now gone along with his players.
I was never trying to dispute the fact the players get a single t and run, just there can be broader implications to the coach for not controlling his/her bench.
