IF I remember my NBA rules, and it it covered by the rules, the only wy a player or coach is ejected without a T is when they go into the stands after a fan. Otherwise it cant be done.
In NF/NCAA I will diagree about using the lastic clause unless it is very unusual. To eject a coach and not penalize the kids is not unusual enough for me.
I think the situation that Mark relates would be a good candidtae for invoking that rule. Just to get rid of an obnoxious coach wthout the T would not be right.
Personally that's why I like the NBA T rule. It does not penalize the players but it certainly gets rid of people who are out of place. ( A toatl ejection is 2 shots only)
