Did the officials get it correct.

A player who is disqualified because he has received a flagrant foul is to remain under adult supervision at all times. That is meant to mean that he must stay on the bench under the supervision of the Head Coach; but that does not mean that a school administrator cannot remove him from the bench, escort him to the lockerroom, and then remain in the locker room with the player for the rest of the game.
