So let me get this straight.. the team gets penalized the first time this kid gets out of line, then penalized more harshly the second time, but the third time the team gets a pass because.... the team got penalized the second time?  I'm still confused.  

The fact that the kid wasn't going to be permitted to play any longer doesn't make a difference. He was still on the field attacking people.  Wearing a uniform.  

Here's what the Good Book says about it.

44. 9-2-6-a, b & c. Disqualified Players a. Any coach, player, or identified squad member in uniform who commits two unsportsmanlike conduct fouls in the same game shall be disqualified. b. A player disqualified from the game must leave the playing enclosure under team supervision within a reasonable amount of time after his disqualification. He must remain out of view of the field of play under team supervision for the duration of the game.

If the UIL can say what the kid is supposed to be doing (under team supervision, in this case), then he's still a part of the team, and subject to additional penalties for himself and the team.  And it sounds like the team wasn't doing a very good job of supervising him post-disqualification... and that in and of itself would justify further TEAM punishment. 

 

 

Oh. You were right all along. Cuz if the UIL says it, it makes complete sense. Sorry to bother.
