(Exception would be gyms with no/limited benches-Burgard-Ephrata etc---coaches should discuss this rule with officials before game)

• Any coach or player ejected from a game is automatically suspended from the teams next game.  Any suspended player or coach may not be in gym during game which he is suspended.
