Fans become overly rowdy

[just another ref]

Around here it is not uncommon for a coach at a school to coach more than one team. On at least two occasions, (I was personally involved in one) I have seen a jr. high girls coach ejected and that coach return to coach the jr. high boys game without incident.

I hear you jar...and that is common procedure around here as well. We have had Varsity coaches sitting on the Frosh teams BENCH and get ejected. They were allowed to Coach the Varsity contest, later in the night, because that game is not a "like" game, that they would have to sit out.

The twist here is that the Coach was a "fan"...not on the bench.

Some wondered if a regular "fan" was ejected from the building...if that "fan" could come back and watch the Varsity contest.

Edit: Another twist...I am not sure if the Frosh game was being played in a separate building from the Varsity game.

Some states require, after an ejection, the player or coach to sit out all contests until they have fulfilled the suspension for a game at the same level they were ejected.

So, a coach ejected from a JV game could not coach at any level until he sits out a JV game.

We have that rule here in the Golden State!

I'm not sure if CO has it or not, IA did when I was there. That wouldn't apply to Dan's case, though, where the coach was ejected as a fan rather than a participant.

Rookie - we have had the same thing happen in this area before (several times, with the same a$$-wipe Varsity coach). After the second time he was kicked out of a gym during the Frosh game (he was sitting in the stands as a fan) we asked the WIAA for a ruling. Unfortunately, their interp. was that he could come back in and coach the Varsity game, but that an ejection form should be filled out and they would keep track of it. Stupid...

Btw - same guy had a good team and made it to his first State tournament at the Tacoma Dome a few years back...played three games, got whacked in all three of them. Should have been tossed in the third game and the officials who didn't toss him got reamed by the tourn. directors.
