Yes to the ejection; this reflects a dilemma we often face-- we know the right thing to do, but we aren't aware of [or able to cite] chapter and verse outlining the situation so we dilute the sanction [yellow card instead of red] and the game slowly deteriorates
several fall back positions that are unassailable and useful as an official are:
yellow card - flagrant and persistent foul
yellow card - unsportsmanlike behavior
red card - serious foul play
the mechanics of the call cannot be disputed, as it is procedurally correct; then simply the referee's interpretation of "flagrant" "persistent" "unsportsmanlike" and "serious" is subject to question, and the discussion then takes on a different tone
if you eject for unsportsmanlike, as rapmaster points out, you are in procedural error and the coach will be all over you, and correctly so
