Learning From Each Other...
-Situation-Error-Question-
May I ask a coach to leave the game because they are being irritating without assessing a penalty?
-What we Learned-
No. There is no rule in the rule book that gives the referee the power to ask a coach to leave without assessing a penalty.
​
The most common rules applied for ejecting a coach are in section 11.
​
As always, make sure you know your rules so that you can effectively deal with different situations as they arise.
