Mistake in the FED rule book?

The point to the restricted to the dugout on this is the coach is responsible for the kids until game over or back to school on a roadie. This allows the player to remain in the dugout where the coach can keep an eye on him.

Not true. Even an ejected player (not a coach) is sent to the dugout.

The point is that, in some states, an Ejected player is automatically suspended for the next game. The rules committee felt this was too big of a penalty for this infraction, so they changed the penalty to restricted to the dugout. No Ejection -- no suspension.
