I'm not saying that as an excuse. Just saying I'm not surprised that if it were to happen anywhere, it'd happen there.
I don't know, either, but if Div 1 is the NCAA equivalent of HS Varsity, then JUCO is maybe like the 9th grade team?

Or, 18U Gold vs. 14U rec?

I dunno.... maybe I'm being unfair to JUCO teams.

The reason for the double shame for the coach is due to the classlessness of the whole thing. The umpires were ignorant of the rule, or else decided two players were a warning + an out, whatever. The coach was knowingly classless.
