First of all, we are never going to do the same thing. He disqualifies himself after receiving 2 in the same game and we do not make him sit out any games after that. Anything like that is done by a governing authority - not the officials.

I said that I think it's harsh - yes. Notice the pronoun "I" - meaning my opinion. If you read my post through, I give the coach his "due" by stating that he is sending a message and also state that he is well within his rights to enact this punishment. I'll take that a step farther and say that the kids have no right to complain since they signed a contract stating that. That being said - I still believe - and this is only MY opinion - that it is harsh. I don't believe the punishment fits the crime. Again, I'm not and never have worked in an inner-city environment but that's just the way I think.
