It would matter (speaking #2) if I thought the actions was a skilled intentional thing, or an inept bumbling thing. If skilled intentional, then a warning to the player is in order. If inept bumbling, then a word to the coach to have a word with his players is in order (in the name of safety). No ejection even considered in this latter case.

Regarding the correction, Cecil, glad to help!

Regarding "degrading" - I might have a quiet word with the coach if it was really degrading and the kids were very young (12U or younger). Or, if as in your case, so instructed by the UIC. Otherwise, since I have no real jurisdiction here, I'm staying out of it.
