Gotcha...and completely agree with everything you're point. Appreciate you clarifying because I'm very much in the same boat as you on this.
I think the thing that frustrated me about this situation is that, assuming the foul was for the contact, the ejection is a required aspect of the penalty. The rule itself makes a statement about this type of behavior, but until someone definitively points out that the foul was for something other than contacting the official, I can't help but wonder why the player wasn't ejected.
