Restricted To The Dugout??

[Spence]

Head coach is restricted to the dugout.

What is he restricted from?

In reading 3-4-4 it says something about "if a coach who is restricted to the dugout is involved in a charged conference...." that seems to say he can go out for a conference.

Is there somewhere that says what he cannot do when restricted?

A charged conference can be held at the bench. Also if a player is ill or injured, the coach may attend to them. That is about all he can do. However, his official duties can be only conducted on/at the bench. Any further unsportsmanlike conduct gets him ejected.

Basically, he can do all his coaching duties as long as he doesn't leave the bench area - conferences all have to come to him at the bench

And there are instances where he should be ejected and not restricted. Make sure to toss him when by rule you can't restrict.

I am glad I work a ruleset that doesn't permit restricting. I fail to see the merit in it. Throw them out.

I only do it when it's required, which has happened exactly once--and I loved it. Annoying (state legend) HC in my ear as BU, then AC gets tossed for arguing. Got to sit the HC down for free.

A restriction to the dugout should be used similar to the 1st technical a coach is given in basketball. It enables you to quieten down the coach without the coach suffering further trouble. In Texas, if a coach is ejected, he has to go to Austin, go before the UIL, and explain his actions. He is also put on probation for a year and if he is ejected again within the year, he may suspended for a year. Ejection(s) on a coach's record can make it difficult for a coach to move up in the coaching ranks. UIL prefers that the coach be restricted first and then if he continues, eject him.
