Best Remedy for Coaches

[Judtech]

We have a school district here who goes further. ANY coach from ANY sport who gets ejected is FIRED. Not just their coaching job but their teaching job as well. It is open to a review of the ejection but they were tired of some of their coaches (non basketball) being ejected so they went this route. Amazingly, they haven't had a coach run since!

Wow -- the question is do officials feel less inclined to take control or do the coaches really learn how to behave like adults?

No, they usually do a good job and behave. As for basketball, the boys coach gets a T from time to time, but he is one of those that if he has a question and you answer it he is ok. May not LIKE it but calms down. So if you are confident in your call, and occasionally confident that you missed that call, you won't have a problem.

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.

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.

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.
