ejection

Technical fouls are a necessary, but perhaps the most misunderstood part of the game of basketball.  While most often called to penalize unsporting behavior, they cover much, much more, and are an important part of an official's arsenal in effectively managing the game, coaches and players.

The use of altered, non-approved and illegal bats in high school softball will result in the ejection of both the batter and head coach, beginning with the 2012 season, according to new rules approved in July 2011 by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).
