What consequence does a coach face for a third offense after a verbal warning?

When a coach receives a verbal warning and commits a third offense, the appropriate consequence is ejection from the match. This regulation exists to maintain the integrity of the game and ensure that coaches conduct themselves within acceptable limits of behavior. The ejection serves not just as a punishment for continuous misconduct, but also as a deterrent to prevent further unsportsmanlike behavior.

Stopping at a verbal warning followed by a simple reprimand would not adequately address repeated breaches of sportsmanship, which can disrupt the flow of the game and impact players and officials. Consequently, ejection reflects the seriousness of maintaining proper conduct on the sidelines, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the match for players, referees, and spectators alike.
