Hypothetically speaking of course, because teams and names don't or won't matter now, I just need to know for my own peace of mind.

 

Let's say for example a head coach gets back to back technical fouls and is ejected from the game and the gym but then refuses to leave the gym, in a league governed by KHSAA/NFHS rules. Upon being told that the game will not resume unless the coach in question leaves, the coach then pays admission to the game and states that he is there to watch a relative play in the game which they had just been ejected.

 

What are the referee's options according to the rule book? What say you referee's, what should and would you have done in this case? What do the rules say?

Just a guess. But I'd say a forfiet would be the next step in that scenario.

It would result in a forfeit.

It would result in a forfeit.

 

And what should be a lengthy suspension for the coach. Not sure that is in the rules for the KHSAA but it should be.

This is something that would have to be investigated by the KHSAA.

I would like to believe that this would be the end result. It probably depends on the likelihood of a lawsuit though.

I don't think this game was a high school game.

It was not a high school game and the result is history, though it's stated that KHSAA rules prevail. The game in question was continued and finished the next day. It's over, I'm just trying to find out for a fact what the rule or rules are and that is all, trust me.

I'd think it was a forfeit, and I've already seen in other sports where coaches have been "suspended from all events for life" for doing far less...

Since it wasn't a high school game the KHSAA would not get involved. It was handled locally and , as you said, finished up the next morning. The rules are handled by the lady running the league.

This was far from anything worthy of a suspension. Its possible that there was an overreaction by one or two people from the very beginning.

Case closed, I have my answer.

 

The official did have the right to forfeit the game per NFHS rules, which KHSAA abides by in a league governed by KHSAA rules. We were led to beleive that the officials could only suspend the game. The rules state that if the team which won by forfeit was losing at the time of forfeit, the score would have been recorded as 2-0.
