An umpire has no authority to eject someone from the stands. If he/she is just being obnoxious, pull in your rabbit ears and ignore him/her. If the jerk gets profane, stop the game and tell the home team coach (it's his/her field) that the game won't continue until the person quiets down or leaves. If the coach won't comply, write the incident in the official scorebook and announce that the game is suspended at that point, and why. Call your assignor and instructional chairperson immediately, and write to the principals and athletic directors of both schools.
