The ejection of a player, coach, or fan of any WIAA member school must be reported on the Officials Report Form within 48 hours of the incident. This applies to any ejection at any level -- varsity, JV, sophomore, or freshmen.
- The ejection of a coach requires that the official approach the coach, announce the ejection to the coach and request that the coach leave the competition area. In addition, the official must ask which coach or school representative will function as the head coach in the ejected coaches absence. The school representative cannot be a parent from the stands, unless that parent is an employee of that school district. It is not the responsibility of the official to go through a drawn out procedure to verify the status of the replacement.
- The ejected coach shall leave the competition area and go to the locker room (indoor sports) or the bus or other area away from the field of play (outdoor sports) before the contest shall continue. An ejected coach may not sit in the stands to watch the remainder of the contest.
- If the coach refuses to leave, the contest shall be terminated immediately and the contest is ruled a forfeit. This should be your last resort, but may be necessary.
- Officials must fill out an Officials Report Form and forward it to the WIAA within 48 hours. As with the player ejection, you do not have to contact the involved schools. The WIAA will forward a copy of the report to the appropriate school personnel.
- The appropriate school official will be asked to respond to the Officials Report Form by sending a written response to the WIAA, which shall include a summary of the action taken by the school against the coach. Coaches are NOT required to miss the next event for having been ejected from a contest. This rule applies only to players.
