Player Suspension Rule
- Thread starter trutiger16
- Start date
If ejected for 2 unsportsmanlike penalties its 2 games, 3 for fighting. I don't think there is more for something like targeting
From the handbook
27-11-6 Ejection of Player and/or Coach-Players and coaches who are ejected from
a contest, scrimmage, jamboree or Benefi t Game for unsportsmanlike conduct and are ineligible
for the team's next scheduled contest must be reported to the VHSL offi ce on the form
provided on the VHSL website. For engaging in fi ghting (including throwing punches as an
instigator, in retaliation, or intentionally kicking or stomping an opponent), biting or aggressive
physical contact shall result in a three-game suspension (a player shall be ineligible for the
team's next three scheduled contests) and a coach for a minimum of the team's next three
scheduled contests. Profanity directed at a game offi cial will result in a two-game suspension.
Student/athletes who leave the bench area and become actively involved in an altercation will
result in a two-game suspension. Coaches ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct will not be
physically present or communicate in any way with the team at that next scheduled contest.
(For the purposes of this rule, a basketball player who collects fi ve personal fouls and must
therefore leave the game is not considered to be ejected and is not automatically guilty of
a sportsmanship violation.) Any player assessed two technical fouls is considered to have
committed a sportsmanship violation and must sit out the next contest. The decision to eject
and therefore suspend from the next scheduled contest(s) may be appealed by conforming
with the following procedure.

Wish it wasn't needed. Emotions sometimes gets the best of people but hopefully whatever this situation is, the young man takes the learnings from this and moves on.
