Like I said, this is extremely rare. We remove them from the bench so that the impact of being ejected for extremely bad behavior is magnified. They go up and sit with their parents and they usually get an earful from them. Since this league stresses sportsmanship above all else (except for player safety, of course), this seems to fit in with that philosophy. This was the rule from the start of this organization over 30 years ago and no one has had a compelling reason to change it. In fact, no one has ever even questioned it to my knowledge, and I've going into my 18th year on the Board.
