What would you do?

Which brings up a question. Does he sit the first game of the next year?

In my rec league, we have some kids at the HS level who also ref for me. In the final weekend, I was visiting a lot of the gyms to check on the guys and see if they were having any problems. One of the refs, who also plays, was working two morning games, and had an afternoon game in which he was going to play and I was going to ref. He asked me that if anyone got ejected, would the penalty (missing the next game) get carried over to the following year.

I paused for a moment and then said, "only if it's you".

He laughed then, and later he played an excellent game. No - I didn't throw him out.
