Just for the record, anyone who pursues knowing the details for their state, might also want to ask what would happen if a coach was ejected from a game at which he was spectating.

We had a situation here in Oregon where a varsity coach was sitting in the stands during the JV game, ref made a call that coach didn't like, coach got heated and started yelling a lot, ref tossed him, then said that since the coach had to remain out of the gym for the rest of the night, he couldn't coach the varsity game. There are a number of questions about the incident but the relevant one is, was the ref right about the all-night extension of the ejection? The coach didin't think so, called the commissioner (on a cell phone from the parking lot!) and the commissioner spoke with the ref, who was not doing the varsity game anyway, and let the coach do the var.

Unfortunately, it made the paper the next day.

Since the coach was not on the bench I dont see how he can
be kept from working his own game. Unless there's some
general ethics violation involved. But these aren't covered
by the fed rules, imo.
