Once the contest is over, what rule is the coach violating?

After ejection, prohibited from further contact with the team for the remainder of the game. The game is not over until the jurisdiction of the officials has ended, is it?

*Shaking my head*

Keep on walking...couldn't even imagine giving a T here

[irpuk]

I would keep walking, no impact on the game (finished already) and why create a mess?

[Camron Rust]

Walking on out.

You are correct. Strictly speaking the coach needs to wait a few more seconds until the officials depart. After that she is free to join the celebration, unless there is a state regulation stating otherwise.

That said, is there a proscribed penalty to returning to the gym during the jurisdiction of the officials? Anyone know of somewhere in the books where it specifically says this is a technical foul? Could it just be a removal by game admin and a report to the governing authority?

I don't think it's anything more than part of the ejection report to the state assoc. "Coach failed to leave the premises after the ejection and participated in on-court celebrations immediately following the game before officials left the visual confines".

To be fair, the official(s) did try to get the coach to leave again before issuing the next T. It wasn't just a "hey -- look, it's the coach!" Tweet!

And I have given one T as I was leaving. Cost the coach the next game.

The game isn't over until the officials leave the visual confines of the court. I think in this case I wouldn't be looking for it, and even if I saw her I think I am getting off the floor as quickly as possible. I certainly don't think I'm going into the celebration and picking her out.

I would not be walking out, I'd be running out, not even looking back. Almost sounds as if the official salivated over giving the coach one more tech.

We need a "LIKE" button, so many of you guys are right, don't look for trouble. Can you give a coach a 3rd T?

This makes no sense to me. If the refs leave, the coach is fine to be there. Resolve the problem by leaving the gym.

Ejected adult bench personnel shall leave the vicinity (out of sight and sound) of the playing area immediately and are prohibited from further contact (direct or indirect) with the team during the remainder of the game. Failure to comply with the rules of ejection may result in the game being forfeited.

Coach has been ejected. Didn't really do anything else offensive, other that come back inside. The argument could be made that the two options were forfeit or nothing.
