HS Coaches/Players fined for ejection

[RobbyinTN]

I would guess the firing due to being ejected from a game would be more along the lines of his personal conduct (outbursts, etc) than an indirect T followed by a direct T (or vice versa). Either way I would think the possibility of being ejecte dand thus fired would cause most coaches to stay calm - at least while on the sidelines of a game

I assume that only applies if the coach works for the school district. There's no way you could enforce that if he works for a private business.

In which state is this, Jud?

I would say that if he coached at a private school, especially a Christian school, that it would be possible.

Bainsey is talking about coaches who work "day jobs" outside of the school and coach in the evenings. Clearly outside of the school's jurisdiction and not what this particular school policy refers to. Bainsey is either confused or facetious.

Has anyone actually lost their job because of this?

So, 3 pre-game dunks can get rid of a guy?

More like astonished. Of course, I was only talking about scholastic employment.

Still, Robby makes a fair point about private schools, which don't typically fall within the realm of "school district." (Yes, there are private schools which municipalities send their kids, but I digress.) Private schools could hold such coaches accountable, but to the degree of termination? It doesn't sound like the punishment fits the crime.

I'd like to think a hearing would be in place first, instead of a hard, fast rule where ejection leads to dismissal.

I've heard myths about kids, dissatisfied with their coach, actually doing this.

Even though I have never heard of such a policy for coaches, but I am aware of some rules that applies to players. In my area many coaches cannot coach at a public school without working in that school as an employee or in the district somewhere. We have had many coaches that retired from their school job, then had to resign from their coaching position for the reasons I just stated. That might be the case here.

Not a myth...it happened here a few years back...not a the varsity level, however.

The State is Virginia and it is a policy only at this school system. I also, don't think they allow persons to coach who are not teachers at the school. I am not sure about administrators, I know some districts don't allow AD's Ast Principals etc to coach teams.
The story I heard was that MANY years ago the school had a nasty reputation for their coaches behavior and this was the only solution that worked.
Again, I have never had a problem (other then the hurdle) with any of the boys or girls coaches and don't think too many other officials have either. PLUS they give us a pizza drinks and all the left over popcorn to us after the game!

I've got a pretty wild imagination.

Update to OP: The offending coach/player may have his fine reduced to $100 by taking a sportsmanship "course" online. Interesting note is the rule is working. But while coaches/players are better behaved, officials are now less likely to give that second T even if warranted.

Is this a rec league? I can't imagine players getting fined for ejections. Coaches, sure, but players?

[OnePutt]

No. It is the State HS Athletic Assn. Changed directors a few years ago. This guy was a well-respected coach/administrator and a strict disciplinarian. He sees the bigger picture of how disrespecting the authority of even a (lowly) game official teaches the kids the wrong thing.

That policy should have absolutely no affect on how a game is called by the officials.
