Grab my partner and inform him what I have, go to the table and inform them, then the coaches. FLAGRANT T on WHITE, he's gone...Unsporting T on Blue...he'll stay around...

Colt, IMO the result of White player being ejected is the correct call. I'm not sure you can find rules under NFHS to support the Flagrant but I believe 1 Technical for the push is warranted under (9-3-7...Unsporting Foul) and a 2nd Technical against White for the Mike Tyson bit is warranted under (9-3-7c...Baiting or taunting an opponent).
Also, I do believe it was a good call to hit BLUE with the Technical under (9-3-7...Unsporting Foul) since there was pushing involved (plus sending a message to BLUE to cease further action is a good thing).
Again this is my opinion...
