[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

There are only two times when a disqualified player such as A1 should not remain on the team bench:


1) If his continued presence creates a problem to the playing of the game.

2) His Head Coach wants him in the team locker room.


In both cases, A1 must be accompanied to the team locker room and an adult must stay with A1 at all times.

While I commend A-HC for wanting A1 off the bench, in the absence of adult supervision, A1 must remain on Team A's bench. It is the responsibility of the officials to make sure that before A1 leaves the team bench that he will be accompanied by an adult and that Team A is aware of this requirement.
