I got his attention, and issued a T. His demeanor worsened, and he repeated the phrase, upon which outburst, I asked him if he had driven to the game. When he replied that he had, I told him to go home and think about his actions.
As I reported the T to the table, a priest, seated at the top of the bleachers, behind the table, arose and came down to talk to me.
Not being catholic, I was a bit concerned, as he asked me why I had sent the young man home. I replied, "Father, he took the Lord's Name in vain, twice." To which he said, "I know the young man. I will have a talk with him. Thank you for helping us uphold our standards." As he turned to walk away, I breathed, again . . .
Different situations,/circumstances - different standards.

I won't question the merits of the ejection because you were there and you know the sportsmanship standards to which you are told to uphold. I only have one question/comment.

Why did you send the player home? Was this a league game or a more informal atmosphere? Cause NFHS has directed us to NOT send kids to the locker room area without adult supervision and to only do so if the kid causes a distraction or more problems while on the bench. I would consider telling to a player to drive home even worse. Remember, all the T's have done is disqualified the player.

Disqualification=bench
Ejection=leave the visual confines
