Simple terminology Q
Does a disqualified player constitute the definition of "ejection"?
Besides the obvious, the question asks a bit more than just the literal. 4-14 I believe clearly states a "disqualification," and the T summary for player Ts do not have "ejection" prescribed, but a partner that I had last week issued back-to-back Ts on one player during the league's playoff (semifinal; non-state sanctioned). While the Ts were warranted for the particular actions the player did, my partner stated on the court while reporting that the player would not be allowed to play in the final if they won. I'm sure each state has their own ejection policy. I think here, the offender is suspended for so many number of games. I didn't agree with my partner that it suspended the player, only that 2Ts sat the player down for the current game. So, that's the background of my terminology question. Thoughts? BTW, they did not win, so the issue was not really ever raised. |
Every ejected player is disqualified, but not every disqualified player is ejected.
does that make sense?? |
in most jurisdictions, players who foul out are not suspended but players who are "ejected" are. Typically, this includes players who receive two technicals or one flagrant.
I called a report in one year on a player who'd received two Ts. The first, however, was for reaching across and slapping the ball during a throwin. The state determined he would not be suspended. |

And further, the enforcement of any such suspensions are also outside the purview of the officials. It is not our job to bar any player from playing because of a suspension. That is a state matter.
