12U girls FP ASA Rules
What do you do when you have a spectator (from your own team) sitting outside the dugout fence that consistantly hackles the coaches decisions on EVERYthing they do. When the coach went over to ask her to shut up, she then threatened to come into the dugout and kick the coaches butt if she didn't leave her alone that she could sit there and say whatever she wanted. She wasn't being rude to the team or umps but just was a royal pain in the you know what to us coaches and would NOT shut up.
I've never wanted to just call a game and leave the field but I wasn't going to do that to the rest of the team. This "fan" was an aunt of one of the players on the team. The parent of this player was told that if the aunt came to anymore games and her behavior was the same that the player would be benched until the situation is under control. Ump said there wasn't anything in his power to do about it.

The umpire was correct. Not a rule or umpire issue.
