As an umpire in Indiana... a few points of clarification.

State tournament officials are selected in all sports by coaches votes and how far you have advanced previously in the playoffs as the main criteria.

The umpire in question did lose his next two assignments, which would have included the state semifinals. He might also be relegated back to the beginning of the cycle as far as eligibility goes starting next season.

The state association does not allow protests of any kind and it was rejected on that point alone. Other states I have worked in also do not allow protests.

Hope this helps!

Well, that confirms what we have been saying about coaches rating systems for years, useless.

But it doesn't absolve these officials from not knowing rules that were changed several years ago, especially in a very important game.
