I started this thread to help me correctly administer if this happens in a game of mine in the future as I feel there were some discrepancies with DQ/ejection in regard to my state. Ejection carries a different penalty as I understand it in Washington, so I was seeking clarity in the difference between DQ/ejection according to fed rules. Thanks again for all of the assistance.

And yet you still insist using the word "ejection" when referring to a player/team member who has been "disqualified" because of committing two TFs or committing a single FF.

I officiate H.S. basketball in both Ohio (GO BUCKEYES!!) and Michigan (that school up north, meh), and both the OhioHSAA and the MichiganHSAA use NFHS Basketball Rules. Both the OhioHSAA and the MichiganHSAA have "extra judicial" penalties for players/team members who commit two TFs or a single FF, and guess what word both organizations use: ejection! Which is incorrect per NFHS Rules.

When I have a player who has been disqualified for committing two TFs or a single FF, I use the correct terminology: disqualified! Remember what I said in an earlier comment: StateHSAA administrators are just as ignorant of the rules as coaches are and we, as officials, should not lower our standards by using the incorrect words that StateHSAA administrators use.
