In Texas, if a coach is ejected, he has to go to Austin (which may be a very long ride depending on where you live) to face the state governing board. They will get probation or a suspension depending on certain factors, I believe. I had my first coach ejection in a holiday tourney a few weeks ago and I know he was not looking forward to the trip.
