Speaking of ejecting fans, our JO ASA fastpitch commissioner gives the umpire that authority plus some.
Routine disruptive behavior, we can just eject. Refusal to leave results in a forfeit.
If there is profanity involved not only will be fan/coach be ejected, but an OUT will be assessed against the offending team (this half inning if they are on offense, next half inning if they are on defense.)
Before you say anything, Mike - I don't like it either, but it works OK most of the time, since I will ignore the occasional expression of frustration and will give a warning if things start to cross the line, and I only do JO ball. The rule comes from the ASA commissioner's office.
