Our policy is they stay in the dugout when ejected unless a parent or guardian can take them away. This came about from an incident where an ejected kid vandalized an umpire’s car. He saw the shirts hanging in the back.

The bus driver is not authorized school personnel. He/she is an independent contractor, just like you.

As a defensive player was leaving the field (following a hard, but legal slide into second base), he yelled, "Show some f***ing respect!" in the direction of the offensive team. He clearly yelled this loud enough for both the offensive team and spectators to hear, as both reacted to the comment. The defensive player who made the comment was ejected from the game. In your judgement, was this the correct decision or should he have been restricted to the bench? Thank you.

Dump him...there is the bus or the school...have a nice walk...DOPE!

In some states he is, in some states he is a School empoloyee. If the people who are responsible for little Jimmy are getting little out of my sight, why would I care where little Jimmy went?

I think that if I were given the choice (and often, by rule, I am not!), I would want to restrict for administrative matters that "warrant" ejection, and eject for anything malicious, aggressive, reactive, etc (including the OP).

By current rule, the OP is an easy EJ (bus, not dugout).

When I was in high school, one of our coaches was the bus driver. It was cheaper for him to get his license than it was to hire a driver when we needed one.

In band, we had 5 parents receive their bus licenses to drive us to competitions.

I like the idea of the bus. With her as the driver, players will do their best to avoid going there.

This can vary even within states. Here in CO, some schools hire the drivers as employees, others contract the entire operation.

Ejection. Showing the player respect in the process, of course. :D

You know this to be true for the entire country? Stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, did you? :)

Not true here.

Often it is the coach who drives the bus. But I don't care. If I EJ it is coach responsibility for the player out of the dugout unless a parent or administrator takes charge of the player. If coach remains and tells me parent or administrator has him then I ask him to repeat what he just said while I have my notebook out to write that down, and I am satisfied.
