In FED you would also give warning and next player on that team is ejected for a fake tag.

I was taught the same thing... team warning, then ejection for next offense. My association, because it considered this a safety issue, went so far as to "highly suggest" awarding the next base.

Well, I took a look at the 2005 NFHS Rule Book and I can't find a reference to "warning on the 1st offense and ejecting on subsequent offensives"? Any ideas on where to look? I did find that one of the two case plays that referenced a fake tag mentioned warning the defensive coach.
