Case 3
                                                          Targeting - Football
               SITUATION:
                   Football Student-Athlete is ejected in the first half of the game for targeting.  What penalty must be served?
               ANSWER:
                  Student-Athlete R must sit out the remainder of the first half and the entire second half of that contest. Targeting is a  penalty, it would
               not be considered a violent ejection, it would be part of the football rules and enforced within the football  rulebook.
                  If the student-athlete is ejected in the second half or overtime, they must sit out the remainder of that game and the first half  of the next
               game.

                                                                Case 4

               SITUATION:                               Flagrant Targeting - Football
                   Football Student-Athlete is ejected for a flagrant targeting penalty, will the student-athlete have to serve game  suspensions?
               ANSWER:
                  Student-Athlete R must be immediately ejected and a two (2) game suspension served.  A flagrant targeting foul is a violent  ejection within
               the NJCAA.

                                                                Case 5
                                                Baseball Ejections – NJCAA and NCAA Penalties
               Please be advised that you must apply the more stringent rule in every specific instance.

                                                                Case 6

               SITUATION:                               Coach Ejected from Game
                   The basketball coach at Community College A is ejected from a game after receiving two technical fouls on Thursday,  during a three-day
               tournament.  May the coach be involved coaching his/her team on Friday?  If the coach enters the building  and/or coaches the team on
               Friday, what are the implications?
               ANSWER:
                   Article XV of the NJCAA bylaws states the NJCAA Sportsmanship and Ejection Policy.  This policy would mandate that the  coach be
               suspended for the next scheduled game in which Community College A participates.  In the precise situation  presented above, this coach
               would not be allowed to coach on Friday.  Article XV indicates that the suspended  coach/player/staff member shall not be allowed in the
               facility/gym/field complex before or during the contest and may not coach  or participate before the game, during the play, or at halftime.
               Suspended individual must remain out of sight and sound of and  from the venue while serving a suspension.
                   If the coach does not adhere to the suspension penalty, he/she will be required to sit out the next two games (penalty  doubles) and the
               team must forfeit any victory obtained while the college was not in compliance.

               Non-Compliance
                                                               Case 1
                             Ejection Policy Violation – Player does not Serve the Penalty for a Non-Violent Ejection
               SITUATION:
                   Student-Athlete R is a baseball player and is ejected for a non-violent offense from the first game of a double-header.  He  plays in the
               second game of the double-header on that same day.  Has the Ejection Policy been violated and if so, what are the  penalties?

               ANSWER:
                   Yes. There has been a violation of the Ejection Policy.  When a student-athlete or coach is ejected from a game for a non-  violent
               offense, a one-game suspension is to be served during the next regularly scheduled game including regular and  postseason games.
               Because Student-Athlete R did not “sit out” the second game of the double-header, that game and all  games that Student-Athlete R
               participates in until he serves his suspension must be forfeited.  In addition, because Student-  Athlete R did not sit out the next regularly
               scheduled game, the suspension doubles and the coach must serve the doubled  portion of the violation as set forth in the Ejection Policy.
               NOTE:  An ejected student-athlete remains ineligible until the suspension is fully served. All games played by the student-  athlete while
               ineligible must be forfeited.


                                                                Case 2
                                                Article XV Section 1.A.2.g.1 and Section B.2.d.1
               SITUATION:             Ejection Policy Violation – College does not Report an Ejection to the Region

                   There is a non-violent ejection of a student-athlete during a game that is being played on a Friday.  The student-athlete  served a one-
               game suspension for the following game which was game one of a double-header that is being played the next day, Saturday. The student-
               athlete then participates in the second game of the same double-header. The ejection is reported to the Region on the following Tuesday.
               Has the Ejection Policy been violated and if so, what are the penalties?

               ANSWER:
                   Yes, there has been a violation of the Ejection Policy.  Ejections must be reported to the Region by noon on the following business day.
               In this case, the ejection should have been reported by the college to the Region by noon on the following Monday.  Because the ejection was
               not reported to the Region by noon on the next business day, the penalties double resulting in an additional game suspension (2 games in
               total) and the second game on Saturday’s double-header must be forfeited for failure to report. For the first occurrence, the penalties will
               double, with the head coach serving the doubled portion of the penalty and a letter of reprimand shall be sent to the Director of Athletics and
               the President of the institution.
