NCAA 13.1
13.1 Ejections
Umpires have the authority to remove a player and/or other team personnel from
further participation in a game for unsporting behavior or verbal misconduct. The
on-site administrator shall make him/herself available to assist the umpire crew
as requested.
EFFECT—An ejected player may remain in the dugout but may not
remain on the playing field or communicate with opponents
or umpires.
Ejected nonplaying personnel must leave the playing field
and dugout. They may occupy the space near or behind the
home-run fence, but they may not go behind the backstop,
or near the dugout or bullpen. They may not communicate
(visually, electronically or verbally) further with the teams
or umpires.
Note: In the event of an ejection of a head coach, an umpire
shall ask the departing coach to identify an acting head
coach. If the head coach declines to do so, the umpires shall
initiate forfeit proceedings.
The umpire should notify the offender that failure to comply
as noted above will result in a forfeit. If the directive is not
obeyed in a timely manner, a one-minute forfeit warning
shall be issued to the head coach. If the warning expires, a
forfeit shall be declared in favor of the team not at fault.
Exception: An ejected coach may participate in a limited capacity during
a game only to attend to an injured or ill player or to ensure
the safety of players when their safety is in question.
