Number 2: NFHS FP (8 years ago): As favor to AD, I'm doing a game in my hometown (I'd been out of HS for 3 years). Hometown team, in one inning, went from 7-0 lead when inning started to being down 7-10 when inning ended. I gave his two barks over calls I (and other players) know I got right, but told him he needed to stop running onto the field while play was going on to scream at me about the play. About 1 inning later he did same thing, told me something rude, and I sent him to the parking lot. Noticed he was standing within sight of field, so asked AD to have him go to his car (local police car, may I add). AD refused, said it was good enough. Noticed girls running back and forth to him, for advice on situations. Didn't do anything about it, though. Since AD wouldn't help, didn't really know what to do.

That's the easiest one of them all. You stop the game until the AD does what is requested. If the AD continues to refuse, you forfeit the game and allow the powers that be sort out the problem. And I really don't care what type of rules might be in place by NFHS or any local conference/league. If they want me to umpire their games, they are going to have to honor my decisions. If not, why bother having me there.
