Personally, I don't see a problem with the rule or the penalty. Yes the penalty in football is more severe, but it's much easier to get ejected from a Basketball or Soccer game. Some of the things tolerated in Football would get you suspended from both.

And the least of my concern when the suspension takes place is the violator....my concern is the remainder of the team who was let down by the foolish, selfish actions. In fact, if I were a coach, I wouldn't tolerate it myself. I've seen several times where I would have yanked a player for not showing respect and dignity towards the other players or the officials. The only issue I see is perhaps in a situation like KC had with Diamond where the officials have not been through the same instruction as to the impact that the ejection would have. So, I think that there should be a special review when the call is made by an out of state officiating crew.
