Post Game Ejection

[Jeff C.]

I have a question for my NCAA brothers. I was at the MSU - Purdue game today and after a wacker at the plate, a Purdue player was ejected.. The player ejected was called out to end the game. He objected rather strenously and the plate umpire obliged him with an ejection. Does the player have to sit out a game? Is there any penalty? I'm just curious, no other reason.

A post game Ej is served the same as it would be during a regular games.

The NCAA rules are on line. It's in there.

If you're ejected after the last out you serve the sentence at the next game.

An ejected individual also has a one game suspension.

So your guy will miss the next two games

Yes he does.

From the NCAA rulebook:

SECTION 25. The immediate removal (or disqualification) of a player or coach

from any further participation from the ongoing or current game. The game

officials have the authority to eject a player, coach or team representative for

misconduct or unsportsmanlike conduct. The offending individual must leave

the field and dugout area immediately and is not allowed to communicate with

the teams or umpires. The ejected individual must remain out of sight and sound

for the remainder of the contest (see 3-6-d, A.R. 2).

Umpires must file an ejection report with the offending team’s conference

administrator and/or athletics director, if applicable. Conferences are encouraged

to adopt a reporting policy to satisfy this rule. A post-participation ejection is

applicable to the next scheduled contest(s).

A.R. 1—If a game is protested (before or after an ejection), regardless of the outcome of

the protest, the ejection(s) shall be counted and suspensions served, if applicable.

A.R. 2—If a situation occurs after the last out of a contest and such conduct would result in

an ejection during the normal course of play, the umpire(s) shall issue a post-participation

ejection. This ejection shall be served in the team’s next contest. If the ejected person is an

assistant coach, player or other team personnel, the umpire shall inform the head coach of

the ejection, either personally or through the home team game management administrator

on site. If the head coach is ejected, the umpire shall inform the coach and/or the game

management administrator on site of the head coach’s ejection. The umpire must contact

the supervisor or assigner immediately after the contest to report any post-participation

ejection. Conferences may impose further penalties if necessary. See Appendix D for full

procedures.

A.R. 3—A post-participation ejection penalty is served in the same manner as any other

ejection (See Appendix D).

A.R. 4—If a player is ejected after removal from the game, he shall serve a postparticipation

ejection.

A.R. 5—If a pitcher is removed from the game and receives an ejection for unsportsmanlike

actions, the pitcher will receive a four-game suspension. For clarification, if a pitcher is

removed as the pitcher but remains in the game in another capacity, the ejection is for that

game.

I dont think theres an automatic suspension in NCAA for this but the conference might have one.

[mstaylor]

I posted the rule straight out of the book.

Some ejections carry auotomatic suspensions - can be multiple games.

I agree with this but not just for arguing a play at the plate after the game is over. Thats just a postgame ejection and sit out the next game no additional suspension unless the conference has a rule.
