I'm tempted to just give you the cite, but I think you'll learn more if I just tell you that it's in the case book under rule 10.

10.5 SITUATION: (a) The head coach is charged (directly or indirectly) with a third technical foul, or a second direct technical; or (b) A1 commits a flagrant technical foul against B1. RULING: In (a), the coach shall leave the vicinity or the playing area and have no further contact with the team. The official has no option and may not set aside the provision which requires removal. This also applies to all adult bench personnel who receive two technical fouls. In (b), the flagrant technical foul disqualifies A1 from further participation in the contest. A disqualified team member or student bench personnel shall go to or remain on the bench. However, in an unusual situation, an official has the authority to require that these individuals who have committed a flagrant technical foul must leave the vicinity of the court. This action is necessary when permitting such offenders to remain at courtside would tend to incite the crowd, to incite the opponents, or to subject the officials, opponents or others administering the game, to unsporting harassment. In such circumstances, the official should require the individual who has committed a flagrant foul to leave the vicinity of the court with an adult supervisor. It must be emphasized that an official does have this authority, when the circumstances resulting from any flagrant foul warrant it. (10-5 Note)

Thanks bob jenkins. So now I know that I didn't dream the part about rarely ejecting the player to the locker room with an adult supervisor.

How about my original question? What if a team member, disqualified, ejected, or still eligible, decides, on his own, without any input from an official, to go and "cool off" in the locker room, with no adult supervisor? Or what if the coach, again, without the input of an official, decided to send him there, for that reason, or for that matter, any reason, maybe punishment? Do NFHS rules prohibit this? And, again, as usual, citation please.
