It does not matter whether the age level is adult or youth, this is an automatic ejection.

Whatever you say Mark. I still disagree with you. But what else is new.

As I stated earlier this month in a basketball thread, civility in society (as well as sportsmanship) has been declining over the last fifteen years, and to condone behavior of the batter as described in the original post, is shear nonsense.

I agree that sportsmanship is on the decline, but it is not because someone draws a line or not. And I do not know many situations in basketball where all officials handle a situation in "one voice" not matter what. The beauty of baskeball officiating, is that many philosophies are embraced and considered.

The batter's conduct cannot be rationalized in anyway possible.

No one is rationalizing anything. Many of us are just disagreeing on how it is handled. You eject them on the spot, I call strikes that he can see. And I feel I get the coach on my side and you eject and have the possiblity that a coach will not understand your rational, many because you are using a standard that does not apply at all levels (the Major League one
) And when I hear guys say there is only "one way to...." I tend to be very skeptical of what comes next.
Again, you do not have to agree. I will do what I feel is best and has worked for me. I have never gotten any complaints from anyone.
