Thanks for your input.
Show cause means that the coach cannot be brought on by a member institution for the length of the show cause unless they explain to the Council on Infractions a valid reason as to bring the person onto the staff. They also must show extreme compliance to all NCAA policies and prove that they can ensure the compliance of the coach/official in question of the show cause.

If a coach is punished by way of show cause, it usually means that all other options have been exhausted. Usually they are terminated on the spot.
