I was at the game so I don't know what the TV guys said about it but earlier in the game when Dugas hit his moonshot homerun the team came out of the dugout towards home plate, like they always do, to greet and congratulate Dugas.

The home plate umpire walked over towards them and motioned for them to get back towards the dugout.

Then Coach Johnson walked over to the umpire and they said a few words to each other, not heated, just a short conversation of maybe 10 seconds.

I'm speculating that the umpire may have told Johnson if the players repeated that celebration again outside of the dugout, which I believe is part of a new NCAA 'excessive celebration' rule this season, he was going to eject players.

Hence, Johnson morphed into Coach Mother Hen to protect his Golden Spikes Award candidate player from being ejected.
