I have a question that maybe some of you out there can help me with.
I have read these reports regarding player game misconducts and game
disqualifications.  The post leads me to a question regarding coaches.
The time period in question is the NCAA
Quarter Final game between Maine and I believe Wisconsin of the '89-'90
season.  Jim Montgomery was called for spearing during the game.  Shawn
Walsh was more than a little irrate because he did not feel the call was
a correct one.  I believe that after the game he publically criticized
the officials call. (I am not positive on what exactly happened)   As a
result, Coach Walsh was suspended for one game and was forced to sit out of
Maine's first NCAA tourney game of 90-91.  (or if Maine had not made it
then, whenever Maine made it to the NCAA's again).
 
Does anyone remember this? I assume the rules regarding the carry over of
suspension with respect to player and coaches are two different things.
Does anyone know what the rule books says?
I was just curious.
