Assuming you're talking about the OP's sitch, Cam, if an ejected individual comes back to the game, how is that not unsportsmanlike?

I'd get fired for whacking this coach before I'd get fired for missing a catch and shoot with only with .2 remaining on the clock.

One's a brain fart, the other is just plain silly officiating.

Unless the coach was doing something unsporting, then I would simply send an email to my assignment commissioner about the situation, and he can take it from there, possibly contacting the state high school interscholastic sports association. I am not confronting the coach if nothing unsporting is going on.

If the coach doesn't want to chance getting a technical called on her, then she shouldn't be at center court celebrating before the officials leave the floor.

That is true, but I am not going to be "That guy" after a game. If you or others want to be "That guy" go right ahead.

Nevada-here is the rule in question:

CIF-SS Bluebook Rule 125.1-Coach Ejection:
Upon the ejection of a coach from any CIF-SS contest, it is the
responsibility of the principal of said school to file a letter of explanation with the CIF Southern Section Office which includes the circumstances surrounding the matter and what action the principal has taken
to prevent a recurrence. Said correspondence is to be filed within
THREE school days of notification of the ejection. Additionally, upon ejection the coach shall be disqualified from participating in the remainder of the game and will be ineligible for the team's next contest. A second ejection will constitute a two contest suspension and a third ejection will cause suspension for the remainder of the season.

QUESTION:
What happens if unknowingly a coach or player who was ejected the previous game
participates in the next contest?
ANSWER:
Being in attendance at or coaching/playing in a contest after having been ejected
from a previous contest will result in the forfeiture of the contest.
QUESTION:
What is meant by attendance at a contest?
ANSWER:
Attendance is defined as being present at the team bench/area, inside or in the
proximity of a gymnasium, stadium or playing area. The intent of this rule is that the
ejected person is not in attendance at the contest.
QUESTION
: How does the Accountability Rule affect a coach who coaches more than one level
of a particular sport?
ANSWER
: A coach who has been ejected from a contest may not be in attendance at ANY contest prior to serving his/her mandatory suspension. (i.e.: An ejected JV coach who is also a varsity assistant may NOT be in attendance at any contest until his/her
mandatory JV suspension has been completed.)

Thank you for posting, and as I suspected that is a Southern Section policy.

Okay, here's my final assessment. (subject to adjustment if anything fresh comes up) First, I'm really glad that I went to the game and witnessed this. You can read situations all day, whether actual or hypothetical, and it's still not as effective as seeing it firsthand. This is especially true on your home turf. I have called in this gym before and I have T'd this coach before. Overall, I'm with the consensus on this, if I just see her on the floor as I'm leaving, I'm not interested. As others have said, there is already a report to file because of the ejection, so this is probably worthy of mention in that report. If I get a nasty e-mail back saying the contest should have been forfeited, well I'll know next time. In the case of the doubleheader, if I'm not leaving, that would probably actually work in her favor. That game is over. On to the next one. But, having said that, she best not say one word to us or all bets are off.

As for how it was handled by the guys that night, here's my opinion. While the rule reads, "Failure to comply with the rules of ejection may result in the game being forfeited," I think the only thing everyone involved agrees on is that would have been a lot worse. Good chance she honestly didn't know exactly what the rule is in this case. They said you have to leave. She dismissed them with a wave of the hand. I think that qualifies as unsportsmanlike behavior. Another T. Then she left again. I'm not thrilled but I can live with it.

I'm sure everybody in town went home complaining about the terrible officiating and being robbed of the game, but at the end of the day, the coach has nobody to blame but herself.
