Restricted to dugout?

Intent=Ejection

Pretty simple.

Which rule permits you to restrict a legal player to the dugout?

Illegal players and subs are out and restricted, but restriction is never a penalty applied to a player who is in the game legally. See 2-27.

Depending on how many coaches there are, you may have to restrict a player rather than ejecting them. Even an ejected player must be under school approved adult supervision so if there is no one to "supervise" the player outside the field (on the bus), he might have to stay in the dugout. Here in CT, even mommy or daddy cannot supervise the ejected student unless with the coach's approval, mommy or daddy take junior home.

he's been ejected and still mouthing off to you. in high school ball, i'll hold the head coach responsible for everything that comes out of his dugout. The player continues to mouth off, i'll ask the coach to do something about it and maybe politely remind the coach that stuff in his dugout is his responsibility. If he can't control the player or can't come up with a solution, coach gets ejected and thus, can take all the ejected players with him away from the area. If he's the only coach, tough luck on the team, forfeit.

What are you talking about?

Ozzy is talking about the coach being legally responsible for the players wherabouts, while under his supervision. A player gets ejected and sent outside of the dugout and gets attacked, molested, beaten up or any other thing that could possibly physically happen to him, for whatever stupid reason. Well guess who is responsible for the kid. Especially for an away game.

Sure you don't care and I am not saying you should but, just maybe a good lawyer may convince a jury otherwise and hopefully you and the coach both have good insurance coverage.

Possible, I don't know but, there is always a first time for everything.

Yep...in FED games...I'm erring on the side of safety for the kids. The FED and our State High School governing board has always supported decisions based on the safety of the participants.
