In sports, an ejection (or dismissal or sending-off) is a disqualifying action assessed to a player or coach by a game official (such as a referee or umpire), usually for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Many ejections occur for such actions as fighting (or attempting to instigate a fight) and persistent arguing with a game official. Usually, a warning is given to the offender before he/she is actually ejected.
When the offender is ejected, he/she must leave the immediate playing area; in most cases, this means going to the locker room or other part of the venue out of sight of the playing area, or leaving the stadium grounds. If a player or coach refuses to cooperate, additional sanctions may be levied (such as forfeiting a contest or being suspended).

Conditions for ejection by sport
Basketball
In NBA and most other basketball games, a player or coach is ejected from the game if he accumulates two technical fouls over the course of the game, except when the technical foul is not of an unsportsmanlike nature. Basketball is a team Sport in which two teams of five active players each try to score points against one another by propelling a ball through a 10 feet (3 m In Basketball, a technical foul (also known as a "T" or a "Tech" is any infraction of the rules penalized as a foul which does not involve physical contact Participants who commit fouls of violence are ejected summarily regardless of the number of technical fouls accumulated. Ejected players/coaches must leave the court area for the remainder of play, and must do so immediately, or else risk even heavier fines/suspensions. In the NBA, an ejection will result in, at minimum, a $1,000 fine. In domestic games, refusing to leave after being ejected can result in a player being put on report. If being put on report does not provide enough encouragement for a player to leave the court, the official may award the game to the opposing team, regardless of score.
A significant rule change was made in 1981 whereby the NBA eliminated the ejection of a coach for three technical fouls caused by an illegal defense. Year 1981 ( MCMLXXXI) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link displays the 1981 Also, in the NBA ejections are not permissible if a technical foul is caused by an excessive timeout, delay of game, or accidental departure from the coach's box.
Basketball also features disqualification, also known as fouling out. A player who commits a certain number of personal fouls in a game (5 or 6 in most leagues), is removed from the game and is said to have "fouled out". In Basketball, a personal foul is a breach of the rules that concerns illegal personal contact with an opponent Unlike ejection, fouling out is not considered a punitive action--it is considered a "normal" part of the game. Players who foul out of a game are permitted to remain on the bench with the team (instead of being sent to the locker room, as with an ejected player); and are not subject to any further penalties (such as fines or suspensions).
Baseball
In baseball, a player, coach or manager may be ejected from a game for unsportsmanlike conduct. In Baseball, a number of coaches assist in the smooth functioning of a team In Baseball, the head coach of a team is called the manager (or more formally the field manager) this individual controls matters The ejectable offense may be an excessively heated or offensive argument with an umpire, malicious game play (especially pitchers attempting to strike batters with the ball or a manager caught ordering his pitcher to do so), using banned substances (such as a corked bat or doctoring a ball), or fighting. In Baseball, the umpire is the person charged with officiating the game including beginning and ending the game enforcing the rules of the game and the grounds making In Baseball, the pitcher is the player who throwsthe baseball from the Pitcher's mound toward the Catcher to begin each play with the goal of In Baseball, batting is the act of facing the opposing Pitcher and trying to produce offense for one's team A baseball is a Ball used primarily in the sport of the same name Baseball.

Strike Zone is a Star Trek The Next Generation novel by Peter David. Strike Zone is a Star Trek The Next Generation novel by Peter David. In Baseball, a Pitcher may commit a number of illegal motions or actions which constitute a balk. This is especially true for catchers who turn around and question the plate umpire regarding a ball/strike call. In some cases, an ejection is followed by a fine or a suspension if the player, or manager or coach, reacts in a very hostile manner towards the umpire. Managers have been known to engage in raving arguments with umpires to provoke an ejection, in hopes of inspiring a rally from their team, also known as "firing up the team". Baseball has a rich vocabulary for describing ejections: a player or coach may be ejected, run, thrown out, banned, given the ol' heave-ho, sent to the clubhouse, hit the showers, tossed, kicked out, or booted.
American football
A player who makes intentional contact with an official (e. g. touching the official to get his attention) will be ejected, and along with the ejection of the offending player comes a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the offender's team.
Unnecessary roughness such as a very late hit may also result in an ejection, as will intentionally punching or kicking another player. Parts of this article need to be merged into American Football, and parts of that article need to be merged here
Association football (soccer)
In football, a player is dismissed from the field of play by the referee showing them a red card if they commit a dismissable offense or have committed a second cautionable (yellow card) offense having already received a yellow card in the same game. Misconduct in association football is any conduct by a player which is deemed by the referee to warrant a disciplinary sanction (caution or dismissal in accordance Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a Team sport played between two teams of eleven players and is widely considered A referee presides over a game of Association football.

Rugby football
In all codes of rugby, a player may be sent to the sin bin for a period. The penalty box (sometimes called the sin bin, bad box, or bin) is the area in Ice hockey, Rugby football and some other sports In rugby union and rugby league, the standard sending-off period is 10 minutes (out of an 80-minute game).

For more serious offences or a second yellow card infraction, a player may be sent off for the rest of the game, with no replacement allowable.
Additional penalties
In some instances, a player or coach who is ejected must serve a suspension. Often, this is one game for the first offense, with harsher penalties depending on subsequent ejections and the severity of the offense, or when they purposefully attempt to hurt another player, a coach or a referee.
Sometimes in professional sports, a fine may be sanctioned against a player or coach.
