I hit a kid with this a few years ago, and he later got a 2nd T for unsportsmanlike conduct.
I called the office to report it, and they said he wouldn't get suspended because one of the T's was not really an unsportsmanlike T. I was relieved.

I agree with that conclusion and had one like that similar in the past. The game suspension should only be used for unsportsmanlike acts, not simply two T's.
Imagine a player who gets a T to start the game because they're wearing an illegal jersey. Later, they get blood on it and leave the game. Without notifying the officials or the table, they change to a clean shirt and come back into the game. The commit a foul and it is discovered that they changed numbers. Another T.
You may not actually call these T's but for the sake of argument, let's assume they get called. By the letter of some state's rules, this would create a suspension for the player when in reality, neither is suspension worthy.
