My answers to:
a) Eject a coach for throwing a bat against a bat rack (filled with other bats) as a reaction to an error by his players?
b) Eject a coach for throwing a bat against a bat rack as a reaction to a call he disagreed with?
c) Eject a coach for bringing a rulebook on the field, wanting to "discuss" a rule interpretation?
d) Stop to answer a parent's question after the game? Would it matter how they approached you?
e) Ever not wear a chest protector?
_________
a) No (as long as it happens in his/her dugout)
b) No (as previous one)
c) No (as long as this is NOT a try to embarass the umpire)
d) After the game the only GOOD path is DIRECT from the field to the dressing room. Only well AFTER a shower and a certain amount of time, with NO uniform on, I allow myself to have a small conversation with parents or whoever. Before that I will reply with a gentle smile 'We can talk about this later on'. They can wait and you'll have time to think and relax...
e) No. No matter how hot and uncomfortable it is (and sure IT IS).
A.
