PIAA – Required Ejection Reporting
ENTERING EJECTION REPORTS – POINTS TO REMEMBER
When do we enter ejections reports?
When a coach, contestant, or team personnel is asked to leave the contest because of their actions, as guided by the applicable rule book.
Who should file the ejection report?
The ejecting official should ALWAYS submit the ejection report. If they are unable, a senior official on the crew or a crew member designated by the Crew Chief should submit the report.

Each leftside player shall have at least part of one foot touching the floor closer to the left sideline than both feet of the center player in the corresponding row. Each front-row player shall have at least part of one foot touching the floor closer to the center line than both feet of the corresponding back-row player.”
