Ruling

I'm sure there are some local officials out there in "THR land" who could answer this question;
What is the NCHSAA ruling on long term effects for getting tossed....players and coaches?

 

one out and we did a double steal. The catcher threw down to third and the runner was safe. The umpire called interference on the batter. The batter was standing in the batter box and didn't move one way or another. The umpire said the batter was in the catcher's way. He called the runner out at third. Umpire said, with one out the runner is out on an interference call and two outs the batter is out.

 

What do you mean by effects?
Are you asking length of suspension for infractions or requirements to be reinstated - or are you curious about how it mentally/emotionaly affects a kid or coach or team as a whole?

Are you trying to get at something or make a statement instead of truly asking a question?

Hope my tone isn't condescending. Not intended. Just curious as to what you are looking to have answered.

 

The NCHSAA Sportsmanship/Ejection policy in baseball calls for suspension of the next 2 games and take the Star Certification. CMS sports goes further with a 4 game suspension. However, it's rare for a HS baseball coach to be ejected. In most cases, they are DQ'd (think of it as a timeout); Hence, no suspension time.

I can say this, all of the HS HC's in Charlotte baseball are outstanding. They know all the officials and the officials know them. It would take a hot head umpire to eject a coach vs DQ. And if they did eject, he will never work another of the coach's games.

 

I'm still trying to figure out what a "THR" is?

 

This is from the NCHSAA Handbook...

Per the NCHSAA Handbook, here is the ejection policy... to see for yourself go to https://www.nchsaa.org/intranetdown...ode=getFile&elementID=6853&type=5&atomID=9035


SPORTSMANSHIP/EJECTION POLICY — This policy applies to all persons involved in an
athletic contest, including student-athletes, coaches, managers and game administrators. The following
examples include behavior or conduct which will result in an ejection from a contest:
• fighting, which includes, but is not limited to, combative acts such as:
– an altercation between 2 or more parties that includes swinging, hitting, punching and/orkicking
– an attempt to strike an opponent with a fist, hands, arms, legs, feet, or equipment
– an attempt to punch or kick an opponent, regardless of whether or not contact is made
– an attempt to instigate a fight by committing an unsportsmanlike act toward an opponent
that causes an opponent to retaliate
– leaving the bench area to participate in a fight (contact or no contact)

Other Penalties
• flagrant contact, which includes, but is not limited to, combative acts such as:
– maliciously running over the catcher/fielder without attempt to avoid contact
– excessive contact out-of-bounds or away from playing action than is unwarranted and
extreme in nature
– tackling/taking down a player dangerously in a malicious manner
– illegally hitting or cross-checking an opponent in an excessive manner with the crosse in lacrosse
• biting observed or determined by an official
• taunting, baiting or spitting toward an opponent or official
• profanity, directed toward an official or opponent
• obscene gestures, including gesturing in such a manner as to intimidate or instigate
• disrespectfully address (physically contacting an official is subject to automatic
expulsion and can result in ineligibility for remainder of career) an official
Penalty for an ejection for the above reasons
• football – ejection from the contest, miss the next contest at that level and all
contests in the interim (miss the next two contests for fighting)
• all other sports – ejection from the contest, miss the next two contests at that
level and all contests in the interim (miss the next four contests for fighting)
Individuals: Players receiving two ejections for unacceptable behavior as defined
above will be suspended from all sports for the remainder of that sport season.
Receiving a third ejection in a school year will result in suspension from athletics for one
calendar year (365 days from the date of the third ejection).
Teams: Teams in the following situations will not be allowed to participate in the
playoffs:
• a team whose players and coaches accumulate six or more individual ejections
• a team whose players and coaches accumulate three or more individual
ejections for fighting (note: if a situation occurs where three of more players on one team are ejected during one fighting incident, those three individual ejectionsbwill cause the team to lose its playoff privileges) If a team hits either threshold (total ejections or ejections for fighting) during the playoffs, it will be disqualified from further participation in the playoffs. Penalties are cumulative from sport to sport and from sport season to sport season, but not academic year to academic year. Ejections in the last game of the season carry over to the next sport in which the individual participates that year. Ejected players may practice during their suspensions but may not play. Ejected coaches may not be on the premises for a contest. The coach must leave the premises (press box, bleachers, adjacent field, etc.) and
must not have any type of contact with the team.
If no member of the school’s coaching staff is present to assume the ejected coach’s duties, the contest is terminated by a forfeit.
Anytime a student/coach is ejected from a game/meet, he/she does not participate/coach the remainder of that day. The student/coach is also suspended from the next two scheduled, rescheduled or contracted date at that level of competition (one in football) and all games/ meets in the interim at other levels of competition. The coach is not permitted to be at the game site during his/her suspension, but the student is allowed at the game site.
Any student athlete/coach/administrator who is ejected or disqualified from a contest is required to complete the STAR Sportsmanship Program before being eligible to return to competition.

CLARIFICATION:
FOR SOCCER ONLY:
Coaches and athletic directors will be responsible for tracking yellow cards accumulated by
their players.
• five yellow cards accumulated by the same player will result in a suspension (miss next
contest at that level and all contests in the interim)
• an additional five yellow cards accumulated by the same player (season total of 10) will
result in an ejection. The player will be suspended from all sports for the remainder of that
season on the 15th yellow card (or second ejection).
• a red card disqualification that is not an ejection is the equivalent of two yellow cards.
Penalties are enforced at the conclusion of the game, and an ejection report must also be
filed at the appropriate time for accumulation of yellow cards.
• Yellow cards are reset to zero once playoffs begin (all previous penalties must be served).
• With three yellow cards in playoffs, player is suspended for next game. A total of five yellow
cards and any player is out for remainder of playoffs and may carry over to other sports.
FOR WRESTLING, TRACK, TENNIS, GOLF, CROSS-COUNTRY AND SWIMMING:
Any individual ejected from an individual event or individual tournament may not participate
for the remainder of the event (entire day(s) of competition or tournament) from which he
or she was ejected. Additionally, the individual may not participate in the next scheduled
two events or any other events, in any sport, at any level, in the interim.
Athletes are expected to sign the sportsmanship pledge, and coaches are expected to sign the
code of conduct for coaches.
II. Penalties that may be imposed by the State Department of Public Instruction:
A. Participation Ban —Violations of the state regulations, negligence or poor sportsmanship
may forfeit the right of the school to participate in interscholastic athletics for a given
period of time to be determined by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
B. Suspension of Accreditation — If any school engages in athletic activities in violation
of the rules and regulations and in such manner as to interfere with the required
instructional services adopted by the State Board of Education for use in the public schools,
the State Superintendent of Public Instruction shall notify such school to desist from
further violation of these rules and regulations; and upon failure of such school to desist
therefrom within such time as the State Superintendent may require, he may suspend
the accreditation of said school until such time as the same may have been corrected.
III. Statute of Limitations: September 1 of the following year is the deadline for all incidents,
violations, etc., to be reported to the NCHSAA.

 

THR land....

Is that the land far far away where stretchy and his gnomes frolic and play???

 

Ump got it wrong

OUCH....if the batter did interfere then the batter is out and the runners return to the bases at time of pitch in the above play. The only time the runner is out is if the runner is coming home on a steal or squeeze play and the batter interferes with less than 2 outs. Another time that the runner could be called out is if the batter strikes out and then interferes with the catcher's throw. Interference and Obstruction rules are the main ones that new umps should learn fast, as these situations are sure to occur many times in a season.

 

This is your last warning Coach....

Needless to say Coach Evans is looking to get tossed!!

 

"It is not a place you would take your child....drink up and get buck wild." At least that's what he advertises.
