I don't see in there where they get to suspend him for an additional game in their ruling. I hate the letigious society we've become but as a parent, I'd be pretty po'd for my kid to be suspended for a subsequent game when the prescribed penalty is ejection "for the remainder of the contest". The subsequent punishment smacks of NASCAR where the rules change weekly.

it's the coach's job to know the rule

I agree. I'm also pretty sure most of these coaches when asked if they are legally equipped put as much thought into the answer as when I ask my son if he's finished his homework. The penalty for that can be pretty severe!
Tough lesson to learn.
