HS Coaches/Players fined for ejection

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.

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.
