I think part of the reason the appeal wasn't granted was because I think they had already played the next game in Sectionals or Regionals and you can't really penalize the other team for the officials mistake. The official did get the rest of his playoff assignments pulled from what I understand.

If it had been me in this sitch, game winning shot, all I do is make sure he touches the plate and then I get the hell out of there, even if I had warned them about removing their helmets. Besides, wouldn't the penalty in NFHS just be an ejection from the remainder of that game (and next) but the run still counts?
