Apparently, you are under the impression that we, as umpires, eject players and/or coaches. We, or at least, I don't, they dump themselves. An ejection is a serious issue and I am not one to support tossing a player out of spite or "just because".
I have never tossed a player that did not deserve to leave the game. It is not unusual for an ejected player/coach's team to thank an umpire for getting rid of that individual. I have often observed that a team which loses a player often becomes more focused and steps their game up a level. Remember, my experience is more with adult players, but there have been some JO teams I've seen to the same.
