IMO, I think Illinois' governing body is going by the "spirit and intent" of the suspension rule which is to penalize players/coaches who get ejected for sportsmanship issues.

From the time I got wind of this story my intuition told me that this suspension would most likely get overturned.

Also, I don't consider the decision as a slap in the face of the officials. The ruling doesn't take any issue with the official's judgement on the 2nd T.
