And Mike is probably right (as usual) about the umpire possibly not even submitting a report about the incident. I umpire IHSAA and we are only required to submit an Unsportsmanlike Conduct Report of explanation concerning:

1. Any student-athlete or coach who is ejected from the contest and the reason.

2. Any coach who displays unsportsmanlike conduct requiring the assessment of a penalty.

I'll probably get to see Julie Johnson sometime this summer and I hope I remember to ask her about this incident.

I'm neither jumping on Mike nor disagreeing with him. I think we both would agee that there is more here than meets the eye (or the OP link)
If you do get more info on the incident, I would like to know the particulars, especially the rationale in meting out the punishment because 2 innings (IMHO) seems a bit lax for something like this in which an AD found player culpability.

Mike,
If you felt like I was jumping on you I am sorry for giving that impression. I was just discussing the topic with you. If I led others to believe that I was jumping on you, I am sorry for that as well.
