In the Casebook Play, the official has the disqualified non-adult bench personnel leave the bench, but that disqualified non-adult bench personnel must be under the supervision of an adult. The rule is written in such a manner that the Head Coach cannot send disqualified non-adult bench personnel to the locker room without adult supervision. As I have stated before, quit comparing apples to oranges.

Respectfully, I disagree. The rule is written in such a manner that the
official can only direct the disqualified team member to leave except under the unusual circumstances cited with adult supervision.
If I have not directed the disqualified team member to leave, I have no more responsibility regarding his leaving the bench than any other non-adult member of the bench.
If I call a flagrant technical foul on a student manager for unsportsmanlike conduct, he/she stays on the bench. But if the coach then sends that student to the locker room, I'm not chasing him/her down to make certain there is adult supervision.
There are no apples or oranges here. Only differing interpretations of officials' jurisdiction and the application of this rule.
