and I umpired a USSSA boys' 12U travel league game (NFHS rules) this afternoon and fun was had by all,  .

From my experience coaches at this level 12U have NO Clue what HS rules are about.
In addition to the DB appeal, just look at the expression on the coaches faces when you invoke the FPSR. They give you that "deer in the headlights" look.
Normally my Plate conference is short and sweet BUT whenever I get travel leagues even in the 14U-15U range that say they play by HS rules I ask them a second time - Are you certain?
Your OP is a CLASSIC example of coaches that do not have a CLUE what HS rules are.
Also, whay was the coach who got dumped in yesterday's game allowed to coach the next day? I beleive USSSA and most FED states have an automatic 1 game suspension attached when you get EJ'd
