We've had a number of issues come up in league play the past couple of weeks (every year, as the weather gets hotter, so do the coaches) that there's been quite a bit of disagreement and discussion about. Just wondering what everyone else thinks...

Would you...

Eject a coach for throwing a bat against a bat rack (filled with other bats) as a reaction to an error by his players?

NO, ONE WARNING.

Eject a coach for throwing a bat against a bat rack as a reaction to a call he disagreed with?

YES.

Eject a coach for bringing a rulebook on the field, wanting to "discuss" a rule interpretation?

NO. UNLESS HE REFUSED TO WALK AWAY.

Stop to answer a parent's question after the game? Would it matter how they approached you?

YES. BUT I ONLY DEAL WITH ADULTS. AND ALSO DEPENDS ON HOW APPROACHED.

Ever not wear a chest protector?

YES. I WORK SLOWPITCH ONLY. I DO WEAR SHIN GUARDS WITH PANTS.
