If you throw a punch, that is an ejection. The player should have more self-control than he displayed there. The official was within their right. Now I was not there so I do not know if it really was a "punch" or just a reaction. I might try to err on the side of not ejecting the player. But if the player clearly threw a punch, then that is just too bad. We try to be too nice when the rules are clearly violated. And if it is on tape, I probably would feel better about the ejection.

Peace
