Unsportsmanlike Penalty

[gmartin]

Quick question I was thinking after watching THE GAME on Saturday.

If a player receives 2 Unsportsmanlike Penalties he is ejected from the game and must leave the sidelines. What if a coach were to receive 2 Unsportsmanlike penalties. Harbaugh received an unsportsmanlike penalty in the game when he threw his clipboard in the field of play and threw down his headset in front of the ref. If later in the game Harbaugh had another temper tantrum and received a 2nd unsportsmanlike penalty would he too been ejected?

YES

11. Unsportsmanlike Conduct by Coach (Rule 9-2-6) FR-96
Change in paragraph a (New language is in bold italics)
“a. Any coach, player, or identified squad member in uniform who commits two unsportsmanlike conduct fouls in the same game shall be disqualified.”

Add new paragraph c:
“A coach disqualified from the game must leave the playing enclosure within a reasonable amount of time after the disqualification and must remain out of view of the field of play for the remainder of the game.”

Comments: Strengthens the coach’s accountability for sideline behavior and brings football in concert with all other major intercollegiate sports.

I know I can't be the only one who thought "Damn Harbaugh...calm down" when the news out of OSU first broke today

I didn't think it was Harbaugh but I will admit I thought it was an upset Michigan fan.
