If what the coach says is true, it's hard to eject a kid for excessive celebration after numerous dead/live ball penalties on a PAT. If we had told a coach that you could not run the play because it was illegal and he did it anyway, then you just penalize him the 15 USC penalty and move on. Maybe the missing aspect is that it was his second USC and he was shown the door for that.
Maybe this paragraph supports the theory:
Precisely why the pair was given the boot is uncertain. GoBlueRidge.net reported that the two were kicked out because of the play itself, but the penalty was not technically due an ejection, so other possibilities are available. One of those was provided to RivalsHigh senior analyst Dallas Jackson, who had a source report that Haas was ejected because of an earlier flag for a tinted visor and Pruitt was banned because of an additional unsportsmanlike penalty assessed for an inappropriate comment from a Watauga assistant coach.
