I did not say I have never gotten complaints about absolutely anything. I said I have never gotten complaints about dealing with a player the way I choose to. The only folks that are trying to tell me I was wrong, are folks that have never seen me umpire a single game.
So if a coach makes a comment about a single pitch (which they do), do you throw them out of the game on the spot, not discussion or warning ever? Because if I am listening to your comment correctly, that is the way all "arguing or debating of balls and strikes" should be handled? I have never read anyone saying they have a "zero tolerance" for that. But then when a kid does one thing, the "only option" is to eject that kid, no words, no comments, just eject?
You have a right to that opinion, I just do not agree with it. But then again, I have never had anyone tell me I was wrong when I did not eject a kid for this and "sent a message" my way. But I guess I should forget all those comments and take your word.
Peace
