That is the way it is handled at most other levels (NCAA, Most OBR leagues etc etc) and it works out quite swell for the most part.

First of all, Ohio wants one consistent rule for the entire state and all sports, which is a good thing.
Second, the state's view seems to be that coach ejections are NOT part of the game, which should be "all about the kids." Coaches and officials have their roles and should remain in them. You might not like that view, but there it is.
Third, I think that there's some effort to bring baseball into the fold of the other sports. I wouldn't be surprised if baseball and basketball together accounted for 80% or more of the ejections in HS sports, and baseball more than half of those.
