can an umpire eject a player for throwing a helmet after the final out is made and the game is over?

Yep. FED says that umpires have jurisdiction until they leave the field.

Not only this but any state sanctioned suspension will apply. In my state, the player will be serve a one game suspension.

The ejection after the game is almost always at least a suspension in the game after, since it was not able to carry the normal "removal" from the game the offense occurred in.

.

And if the helmet throwing was done as a result of a fit of exuberance?

Something like this...

What then?

"There's a whole lotta' suspendin' goin' on!"......"Those umps got 'em all under control. My hat's off to them!"
