If your coach is being reprimanded I hope they offered him some suggestions on what to do if it happens in the future.
As far as the texting I would 100% as the coach take the reprimand very seriously and also consider it well deserved. I would also spend time next practice maybe 10 minutes or more and have a character lesson, I would explain to the kids about the dangers of social media and cyber bullying etc. We as adults don't think much of it but it is very serious for young impressionable girls there are some horror stories out there and it starts "innocently" with little thing like this. I know LL is mandatory play but in PONY we had discipline exceptions and if LL had them I would be OK using them in this situation, again making sure I got all the facts first. Ultimately most of these girls won't become sports stars but the life and character lessons they learn are much more important and be a good sport is part of it I think there is a pretty good song out about that...something about being Humble and Kind
I probably wasn't as clear as I could be about this. There was no cyber bullying or anything improper about what our girls did after the game. They texted their friends on their sister team about their win. Our community (section of the city of Seattle actually) has two majors teams and most of the girls have played together at some time and most go to the same school. They were texting among themselves. Nothing aimed at the opposing team which is in a different part of the city and a different league.
When I was the HC of my dd's HS team, we played a very proud program but we were very good. When we were up 15-0, I had a player step off early to end a big inning. It was apparent that they could not get us out and we had bases loaded. The pitcher walked the next batter and so, I had another step off early. Long story short, we ended the inning by stepping off. So, the coach "thanks me" and I think that I have done the right thing. We end the game up 18-0. The next day, I get a call from my AD that we have to have a meeting. I was accused of embarrassing the other team by having my players step off early and they dropped us from their schedule. Even when I explained that the coach thanked me for ending the inning, my AD didn't buy it. I couldn't win in that situation.
Don't ask the other coach if they mind if you intentionally get the game moving along by leaving early or stepping on the plate when you bunt. Just do it. It's standard protocol when there is no inning run limit.
