Ejection and aftermath

[Brad]

If you let game management handle it, the coach is the one that is going to get in trouble for his behavior afterwards. If you forfeit the game, you are the one that is going to receive all of the scrutiny.

The rulebook says "Failure to comply with the rules of ejection may result in the game being forfeited." (emphasis mine)

The may part is important. It's not a hard and fast requirement. And there is no 60 seconds either — the rule book says they are to leave the vicinity "immediately".

So, if you put 60 seconds on the clock and then forfeit the game, what will be said afterwards? That you didn't apply the rule correctly.

Just let game management and the police officers handle it. That's the most common-sensical approach as well as the one that is going to keep you out of hot water.
