HS Coaches/Players fined for ejection

[OnePutt]

A few years ago our state HS assn implemented a personal fine for ejection from a HS game. $300 for first offense, $500 for second, if there's a third offense...don't come back. As stated, its a personal fine and cannot be paid by the school.

It has been VERY effective. Does your state have as strict a policy as this?

Players are fined just like coaches?

Our state requires ejected coaches to take an online class that supposedly takes about an hour to complete. They have to pay for it as well, and I think it's $35.

In Ohio: for coaches (not players), $100 fine plus taking the NFHS coaching behavioral retraining course (or whatever it's called).

I just learned last week that nearly twice as many girls varsity coaches than boys varsity coaches have been ejected this season.

We have one school system that has a very SEVERE ejection policy for the coaches. You get ejected, you lose your job. Not just your coaching job but YOUR JOB!!!
I also think there is a State Policy as well but don't know it off the top of my head.

Do people who officiate games in that school system feel a little less inclined to pull the trigger on a second T? I think that penalty is a bit over the top for one ejection, but I do bet coaches are on their best behavior after they're handed a T.

Never been an issue really. The boys coach is super to work with. When he does get 'exercised' an explaination is all that it takes to settle him down. He may not like/agree with it but he moves on. On the girls side they have had a parade of coaches and they have all been fine. Word on the street was this was put more in place for baseball and football (although not sure how you can get ejected in a FB game. )

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.

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

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.

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.
