Which section provides guidance on coach or player conduct and penalties?

• A. Protests, Appeals, and Discipline
• B. Sportsmanship and Penalties
• C. Lineup Procedures
• D. Time Management

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is understanding where rules about behavior and penalties are outlined. The section titled Protests, Appeals, and Discipline lays out how coaches and players handle disputes over umpire calls (protests and the process to appeal) and, separately, what penalties apply for misconduct. It covers when a protest is allowed, how the protest or appeal is filed and processed, and the disciplinary measures that can be imposed for unsportsmanlike conduct, including ejections and suspensions. This is distinct from areas that deal with lining up players or managing the game clock, which focus on lineup procedures and time management rather than conduct and punishment.
