Wow! I hate to say it but I think this one goes a little too far.

Is this for any ejection? I'm assuming that after review, a coach wouldn't be fired for say, 3 players dunking during pre-game or a coach receiving a direct technical for an illegal uniform and later getting an unsporting technical foul.

Schools usually carry their own group insurance for their own games. And sports officials may be covered under that group insurance also. Iow, dependant on your local coverage you may be double-covered, covered or not covered if you work with a non-licensed official. Not a bad idea to find out imo.

That's my understanding of it anyway.

They are held responsible for the actions of their teams. That includes warm up dunking and uniforms. It is harsh, but apparently this school used to be VERY bad with their coaches/players etc.

Covered against what, specifically?

You are right that they are responsible and we rightfully access them with the proper technical. My point was it would be silly (at least to me) for a coach/teacher to lose their position because 3 players dunked the ball in pregame. I can see why they'd want this if a coach is ejected for two unsporting technicals (which I'd bet the rule was originally intended to curve), but I feel it'd be harsh in out circumstances.

Whatever is written into the applicable policy. It varies, of course.
