Melvin...
I would certainly need to see the actual incident for myself. But it is my feeling that a punch thrown means an ejection. And I don't think it even matters if he connects with his punch or not. NFHS rule 9 section 4 deals with this in depth. It says that striking an opponent is an ejection. Now, as for what KY does, I haven't a clue either. But I would think they should follow the NFHS guidelines. Was this a High School game?
I'm really surprised that a player wasn't ejected for punching an opponent. This kinda makes me think that maybe it might have been something other than a punch. Of course, I haven't seen the play.
