We're obviously going to disagree, MTD. I've seen nothing in the citation you have that makes me believe a coach cannot send a DQ'd team member - or any other member - to the locker room. If a player loses his contact and they forgot to bring saline solution to the bench, I'm not going to stop him from running to the locker room.
It's the same reason when I was in Kansas I didn't stop a player in a JV game from going to the locker room so he wouldn't be an eligible substitute. I see nothing different here in terms of my responsibility as an official.
