If that's the way your conference wants it done - no problem. After finding out that we had a substitute head coach in the dugout I MAY have had a quick word with him before the game, depending on how he approached things at the plate conference.
Other than that I see no problem with how the game was handled, as NCAA/JUCCO warn/eject policies are simply different than HS or Pro ball.
In Southern Calif we tend to have very short leashes in JUCCO, D1/D3 are similar to what you have described.
