Garth - Can I not make a mistake?
I admitted I was wrong ejecting the fan, and I should have gone to the coach, but I had not recieved any advice prior to that. Since, I have recieved advice and now I know what I should do next time.
Umpires in this league have always ejected fans at least as I remember. I remember parents getting ejected when I was playing. There were at least 3 or 4 a year. I was going on what I remembered, as I haven't seen fans get bad enough in the years I have umpired that they needed to be ejected. In the other leagues around, it is not uncommon for umpires to clear the stands, or throw out 3 and 4 parents at a time. Granted they are not right, but it happens. Fans around this area get a little rowdy.
I have learned from my mistake, but I do not believe I should have recieved a butt chewing. I do not handle the other umpires that way, I let them know what they did and what they should have done.
