Mark, how is ejection of a coach not specifically covered in the rules? Seems pretty well covered. A coach is ejected for one flagrant T, or 2 direct T's, or any combination of direct and indirect T's that adds up to 3.

I'm not sure why 2-3 applies here.

I am not going to defend anyone's postion, but this statement was at the heart of my earlier post. There are clear guidlines of when you must eject a player or coach; ie when they hit their T limit. However, the rulebook does not say you have to give those T's before an ejection. I don't think this falls under the elasticity rule at all, it is already in the book, although it is pretty ambiguous.

Would I ever do it, probably not, but I think the rule book supports an ejection without T's simply because it does not explicitly say you cannot do it.
