Punish the offender for the offense and when the offense was committed.

Are you refering to a FPSR violation? If not, why would the run not count if the the contact happened after the runner scored?

Under OBR, would you call him out because at the point of initiating the contact, he was ejected and no longer can score, or do you just disallow the run without calling him out?
Obviously I'm not talking about pure OBR, but youth league modified OBR with attempt to avoid rules.

Most youth leagues have the rule that a malicious crash gets you ejected.
Legion also says that the runner should be called out, while LL (I think, I don't have a LL book) doesn't call him out. Therefore, on the last play of the game, there is no penalty for the LL runner who crashes into the catcher.
You must check whatever book you are using to find out.
