Ejection Policies and Are They Upheld?

After reading some posts on this board about state associations either waiving suspensions or upholding suspensions as a result of an ejection from a contest, I'm curious as to the following: 1) Does your state association(s) require the coaches to attend the same rules meetings officials do? 2) If so, does the state association(s) make it clear during the meeting the ramifications of an ejection, and the fact that it cannot be appealed (or otherwise)? 3) Is your state association(s) being consistent with their policy? I'm not out to do a neener-neener kind of thing, but one thing that bugs me as an official is when we do our jobs, and then have our "authority" taken away after the fact because some higher-ups thought we may have been hasty or unclear in our thinking (as if we haven't gotten used to the idiots in the stands who think that every time we run up and down the court!). Talk away folks. I'm going to sit back with my popcorn and see the responses.
