I'm pretty sure that in IL, suspensions have to be served in the next game that is already scheduled at the time of the suspension. So, a team could go ahead and add a game or two, but the player couldn't play in those and then couldn't play in the previously scheduled game.

But get rid of the rats!

If only restricting worked.

In the scheme of life, the ejection should teach more of a life lesson than a warm and fuzzy warning.

In some (if not most) cases a player ejection is actually only a seat on the bench. If the player is a minor, then he/she can't leave the premises unless a parent or guardian is there to take him/her home. The post game discipline is what reinforces the ejection.

There are coaches out there who take care of their own business. There are coaches who don't, so when we eject, it is typically from coaches who aren't taking care of their business in the first place. I never feel bad for an ejection. I often regret missing an ejection when I probably should've.

Is this a legal title?

We're independent contractors and have no say in the administration of any school, team, conference or association. If you don't like it, don't work there. I certainly have my share of places I don't work because I don't like how they treat me, but I never once thought anybody owed me an apology. There are multiple coaches who bad-mouthed me publicly over the years, and when I was offered games to work where they coach, I just turned 'em down.

Tim.
No comment would have been the best answer.......if you're okay with "the heat of moment" comments, then he shouldn't have ejected the player.

Somebody has to be the voice of reason.

What he should have said was, "This isn't my first time pushing a broom after the rodeo has left town."

Ladies and gentlemen. I can assure you that the OhioHSAA is not happy about the situation, BUT, as in the rules that I posted earlier in this thread, it was perfectly legal. I am sure that rules will be examined closely for next year.

This is exactly the spot the OHSAA found themselves stuck in.

They wrote the regulation not expecting a member institution would find a way to work around the intent. (one of the teams had finished their season some 11 days prior) Instead of ending up in court, they voiced their displeasure with the school and will be rewriting the regulation to put a stop to this......

...until someone else comes along and finds a way around it.

FWIW, the coach and umpire were sanctioned for their comments to the media.

No surprise to me. That's what coaches do. Find loop holes or bend the rules. Or even cheat.

We're going to have to agree to disagree here. This entite matter is a symptom of a much larger generational problem. There is virtually NO accountibility anymore for young men and women when they cross the line. This kid steps out of bounds and swears at an adult who's been placed in an authoritative position, and it appears the entire system makes allowances for it. In the days I played baseball none of the kids I played baseball with would have gotten away with something like this. Our coaches and school administrators would have supprted the official, and an a$$kicking woyld have been the order of the day by our fathers.

The OHSAA system makes allowances for the frequent strings of foul weather we get here in Ohio. A few years ago, the weather was so wet teams were lucky to have played 15 games going into the tournament. The system was set up to allow teams to have a normal season even if early April weather doesn't cooperate.

That system was abused here and I would expect it will be adjusted to prevent this abuse in the future. Don't blame the system. Blame the coach, AD, principal and school system who lack the integrity to hold the player accountable.

Seems like there would be a fairly straightforward fix: if a player is suspended in an OHSAA tournament game, they must sit out the next tournament game.

But I think it's a little unfair to say the state "allowed" this to happen...the weasels found a loophole and accomplices to help them go through it, but the state couldn't just implement rules on the fly.
