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.
