No way.

In Montana you must serve a one game suspension at the level you were ejected, before participating at any level. An AD once stated to the State Office that "The officials need to understand the consequences of their calls". He made this argument in an effort to circumvent the rule for his particular school's assistant coach, who was ejected in a JV game and was not going to be able to participate in the State Playoffs.

I respectfully disagree.
I think that the players and coaches need to understand the consequences of their actions. When officials start altering their calls based on what may or may not happen in each different situation, it will be impossible to be consistent. I feel that officials need to work each game as consistently as humanly possible, if that means that a player of coach misses a game, so be it. That player or coach knew what the consequences of his/her actions were before he crossed the line (twice), let him/her live with it.
