OK, here comes my $.02......just throwing out some thoughts...comments appreciated.
What if you changed the words "suspended for the next game" to "suspended through the next game date" at the same level at which they were competing when ejected. I think that would simplify the situation and comply with the intent of the rule, at the same time making it almost impossible for coaches to play the smoke & mirrors game.
For example:
1. Player "A" plays JV only. At the JV game on Tues. night he/she is ejected. Result: he/she does not suit up on Friday.
2. Player "B" plays JV & swings to varsity. At the JV game on Tues. night he/she is ejected. Result: he/she does not play in the Varsity game that follows, and does not suit up for any games on Friday.
I think maybe there also needs to be a clear distinction between disqualification (5 personal or two technical fouls) and ejection (flagrant or unsportsmanlike conduct) with the suspension penalty applying only to the latter.....
