AUSTIN, TX— The State Executive Committee of the University Interscholastic League handed down decisions on the eligibility of student-athletes and issued penalties to coaches for violations of UIL rules on Monday.

Houston King High School Coach Donald Carter was issued a public reprimand and placed on probation for one year after the committee denied his appeal for violation of Section 1208(j), ejection from a contest.

Dallas Highland Park High School Coaches David Piehler and Travis Snowden were placed on probation for one year for violation of the Sunday prohibition rule. Additionally, Piehler was issued a public reprimand for the violation.
