Let's take a breath:
Prior to 2010 it was impossible to "restrict" a player. The only difference was when a player is ejected he can be required to stay in the dugout to be supervised.
According to the NFHS Rules Committee the safety of the player is more important than the philosophy that the ejected person be out of sight and out of mind.
Starting with 2010 the Rules Committee is reviewing the possibility that "restriction" of a probably concussed player (that a coach refuses to remove from the contest) is under certain circumstances the correct path.
While restriction of players is not yet a tool for the umpires game managment bag it is slowly reaching the discussion stages at the NFHS National Meetings.
