What should the head coach do after being ejected?

After being ejected, the head coach is required to leave the vicinity of the playing area immediately. This is a standard procedure to maintain the integrity and order of the game. The rule emphasizes that ejected individuals must not attempt to undermine officials' authority or disrupt the game, which would happen if they remained in the area. By exiting promptly, the head coach complies with the regulations and allows the game to continue without further complications.

Remaining on the field or arguing with the umpire after an ejection disrupts play and could lead to additional penalties for the coach or the team. Contacting the team manager, while possibly a necessary follow-up for team protocol, does not address the immediate requirement for the head coach to vacate the area after an ejection.
