What Socalblue1 said is absolutely right. Over the years, I have had to deal with that situation. Interestingly, two or three of those situations required a call to the state association before the second game was started so that the ejected coach could hear it from someone besides "that stupid umpire". Especially when the the Varsity assistant was ejected and he/she is the JV head coach (second game), and thinks the suspension is only at the Varsity assistant level.
New Mexico has just this past year changed (read increased) the consequences for player / coach ejections to include completing an on-line course, a money fine, and increased penalties for cumulative ejections, including other sports. For example, one ejection in football, one ejection in basketball, and one ejection in baseball: the association has the option of suspending the offender for the rest of the season rather than just one game. New Mexico Activities Association is trying to take Victory with Honor and Character Counts seriously. Regardless of that, it continues to amaze me how many players / coaches seem to take being ejected lightly and as "part of the game".
