Game management from the first pitch will prevent most problems. I do mainly JUCO, High School Varsity down to park district. Regardless of the level always look the part.
Shoes polished clean uniform etc. The lower the level the more firmer I am. If I get chirping from coaches speak to them privately don't be a hard a$$ and show them up. Do this as soon as it occurs don't wait until the last inning. Hustle and work hard on every play and be strong with your calls. The sharper your mechanics the more believable you will be. I do over 100 games a season while I don't keep track of the number of ejections I would guess a couple of players for smart mouths 5 or 6 for rules infractions that waarant ejections and 5 or 6 coaches. My attitude is that I never eject. The actions of the individuals cause them to eject themselves.
