I also think there is a State Policy as well but don't know it off the top of my head.

Wow you as an official have the power to send a coach and his family into potential poverty.
Has anyone actually lost their job because of this?

In West Virginia if a coach is ejected, they lose 10% of their pay for the year for each ejection.

If you get paid $2,000 you lose $200. ( you also miss 2 games of coaching. )

11 years I have never ejected a coach, only had one come close.

That's their rule. We're supposed to follow OUR rules. And while doing so, we're supposed to penalize unsporting conduct.

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

I don't know, but I've been told....that a few years ago the HC and an official were having a difference of opinion and the coach got rung up. He must have been having a bad day b/c apparently the AC and AD were right there at the bench trying to calm him down (successfully) Apparently, it was ''touch and go" for a bit. I DO know that this official did NOT know about the ejection policy.
I have never had an issue in his games although I did have to hurdle him once as he was squatting in front of his bench and I was running up the sidelines (OOB)!! Maybe that put the fear of God in him!!

Does the policy only include direct T's to the head coach and not indirect T's? What happens if the coach gets an unsporting T and later on, we have to charge another T to the coach for an illegal uniform? I don't think that's what the policy was intended for.

I would imagine they have some type of appeal process but I don't know the ins and outs of that districts policies for appeal/arbitration. My first response would be Yes with the school citing the fact that had the coach not gotten the direct T then nothing else matters.

I could see how this could go bad without an appeals process of sorts.

Coach lists all his starters as required, but has to change due to an injury. Official mistakenly a) gives technical foul and b) charges it to the coach.

Later, at half-time, A1 is shooting layups when the official thinks he got to close and charges him a technical foul for dunking.

Midway through the third quarter, a technical foul is called on A1 (on the court) for dead ball contact. During the FTs, the assistant coach directs all the players to stand immediately behind the 3 pt line. The official charges the assistant coach with a T for directing the players to break a rule.

I know, it's far fetched....

Yeah, especially this part. Simply ludicrous. It would be MORE believeable if it was in the 4th quarter...but even THEN cant see an AC EVER doing something like this

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

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

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