That doesn't change the rule. An umpire may state that he will eject the next player to speak, but he isn't wrong if he doesn't eject a player or coach who speaks in a civil tone.
BTW, and please don't take this personally, but a just one of my personal issues is using "should of", when the correct word usage is "should have".
