I also do know that IAABO associations(boards) can also similary suspend, expel and/or fine their members for failing to follow their association rules and regulations. They have a set appeal process also.
That's why we don't have to put up with the mutantduckies of the world. If they don't want to act within our set rules of professionalism, we don't want 'em or need 'em. It's Hasta La Vista, fanboy. Go sit in the stands with the other fanboys and feel free to do whatever you want to do.

JR,
I hate to hijack Mutant's thread, but I am thinking he may not mind at this point. If you would have an official in your association who complained enough during a game that a fellow member filed a complaint with your association, what action would your association likely take (assuming the complaining was substantiated similar to the admission in this thread)? Would the action be taken based on what the NFHS Offiicials Manual, Rules Books, etc. say, would the action be based on a clause in the State HS manual or would the action be based on a clause within the rules of your association?
Just curious. Thanks.
