Another first

[refinks]

Not familiar with IAABO rules, never dealt with them.

Just another ref, in the situation you described, I agree with you. Depending on how serious the contact, I may just kick the kid out of the game myself, especially based on his interaction with the fan. Good for the acting coach for sitting the kid the rest of the game. Based on the fact the actual head coach was ejected in the first half, I'd be willing to bet he would not have sat the kid, probably told him to do it again.
