So glad our legislature is hard at work solving all the state's problems.

This gives to much power to the crappy refs. If a ref has bias against a coach the ref can just eject a coach and that coach is gone for the remainder of the sport season.

BS

This a solution in search of a problem.

I agree that it would give the refs too much power (and I AM a referee for soccer). I have seen many other refs dismissing coaches for minimal reasons (and the referee is usually a poor one).

No role for the State Legislature.

Our legislators in Florida are arrogant, self serving criminals. They routinely extend their reach where it does not belong. But as the idiots we are, we vote blindly on party lines and this is what you get.

What does this prove? Coaches are already suspended and repeat/more egregious offenders get longer suspensions. Why do we need a 1 size fits all suspension period mandated by the State Legislature?
