Please help me out on this...cite a rule that would support an ejection...if there isn't one...then please state that as well...I did consult the rulebook..but the teams play tomorrow and I'd like a rule to support an ejection if there is one.
Thank you,
John

Quoting from BRD on the subject of EJECTION: POST-GAME: "OBR: No provision"
It would be an even bigger stretch to eject tomorrow for what was done today, that was not ejected today. Advise the league administrators of what happened and let them handle it, and if they don't be aware there may be a flareup and deal with it.
