I agree with MTD, Sr. If the coach's behavior got him ejected, so be it. He could have discussed (argued) the call without crossing the line.

Here's the problem. Qualitatively, we don't know that he crossed the line, absent the report. It wouldn't be unreasonable to claim that an umpire that does not understand the helmet rule and chooses not to submit a report about an ejection arising from his misapplication of the rules may have improperly ejected a coach.
