Larry Haag said, in part... > ... Can a coach be given a DQ like a player? ... No (at least I don't think so). A coach can, however, obtain game misconduct. From Section 4.b. of the rule book: A game misconduct penatly involves the suspension of a player, coach, manager, trainer or any other team personnel for the balance of the game; however a substitute is permitted to replace a player immediately. Note: This is not to be confused with the disqualification penalty plus a major penalty. A player receiving a game misconduct penalty is suspended for the remainder of that game only. The player is allowed to play in the team's next scheduled game. >If so, why did the refs tolerate this idiot rather than toss him out? Good question.
