It's not your skull that's the problem. It's the way it is outline in the book. It would be much easier if they listed it as 1- 2- 3-.
Basically anytime an inappropriate bat is found, the head coach is ejected. The one exception is when the inappropriate bat is used by an on-deck batter. In that case, the on-deck batter is warned. If an on-deck batter is later discovered to have the same bat, they are ejected. There's no note of the coach being ejected in this case.
The theory behind almost always ejecting the head coach is to really put the onus on them to clean up their equipment.
