No you guys are right. Should have tossed him after the first one. I felt kinda bad for the guy who asked me to come ref that night. First time I come, I toss a coach. LMAO!! I am really, really curious if he invites me to do anymore games (which I will politely decline).

I asked him what the league rules were for the coach who has been ejected (ie. Do they have to leave the gym, facility, just leave the bench to the stands, etc.)He said, "I don't know. We haven't had one yet this year.

I told my wife about it and She asked me if I was T happy. I said no although my previous 2 years, I had only give 2 Ts total. This year: 10. Every one of them was deserved and I hadn't questioned any except this one and the one I didn't give to an AC a few weeks ago.

When in doubt follow whatever code you're working with but all codes call for a coach who has been ejected to leave the playing area (NFHS 10-5-5 Note, NCAA 4-23).

When you decline... I would inform him that a large part of your reason for declining is the lack of site admin. Don't EVER work games without some sort of neutral(ish) site admin.
