Hmmm,
In Oregon an ejection cannot be reversed. All ejections in Oregon also include the penalty that the player or coach cannot participate the remainder of that day at any level and there is an additional one game suspension.
Saying that there is a process to lower the penalty that is associated with an ejection.
Example:
In high school baseball last season there were 86 ejections of players and coaches.
Of these ejections 41 were appealed and schools requested that the additional one game penalty be waived.
20 times the OSAA granted the waiver.
Recognize that the OSAA does not make this decision without conferencing with the the local association commissioner who, in turn, talks directly with the official that made the ejection.
Sometimes in baseball (because tradition allows a coach to come on to the field of play to argue even judgment calls) ejections can be questionable even for the well seasoned umpire.
Baseball had FOUR TIMES more ejections than any other sport. Girls softball played 80% as many games as boys baseball and they had seven (7) ejections for the entire season.
