In our season finale we had a senior player get ejected for a language etc. We were on the road etc but thats another story [if you could see some clips of some calls and no calls you will get my point]. With the ejection a $300.00 fine is assessed to the school being his first ejection. Monday we got a call from the state athletic association wanting us to send them a letter on school letterhead stating what our disciplinary action AS A SCHOOL was going to be to this situation. Our AD [who is more professional than me] told me about it. I told him to tell him its none of their business and way over reach on their part [well my first response was a little more 'colorful' than that] as there is nothing in the bylaws stating that other than the fine there are no other consequences. Anyone else had similar experiences? This is in Alabama with AHSAA.

In Wisco, the WIAA mandates a 1 game suspension for an ejection. They also mandate other penalties for code violations....but what they dont do is suspend a kid who was arrested and convicted of armed robbery...nope that kid got to play all year.....

It's an over-reach, IMO, but also a good way for the athletic department to CYA in case there's another ejection down the road. Your AD could type up a quick letter detailing a half-dozen things the school is going to do to address the "issue", submit it and then be able to fall back on it if chit hits the fan again. State high school athletic organizations are getting more and more involved in situations like this so it's not a bad idea to play the politics a little bit.

I would think it would be a privacy matter, but I'm just a dumb coach and not a lawyer!
