Ok, so either way if the player is continuing to cause a problem or if the coach wants him off the bench ( I had a game where one of the star players of the BV team was disqualified for swearing and the coach not only dismissed him from the bench but from the team ) how can we not "trust" the coach (it's a hard concept I know) but if we remind the coach of the rule and can articulate a reasonable belief of compliance, what more responsibility can we have? Are we supposed to obtain the identity of the supervision and have them sign a release and then periodically check on them? What if the DQ happens before half-time and when the team comes back the player is gone?
If you have a DQ you're more than likely required to write a report. I would document the series of events, circumstances and your conversation with the coach and reiterate that the rule was explained. As long as you have an agreement from the coach and the situation is well documented I would think that either the school or state would then be responsible for disciplining the coach in the event something happens to the player or because of the player's actions.
