Presumably, this was a newer umpire.
One thing that the umpire training I have benefitted from has almost completely avoided is this issue of behavior and ejections. Perhaps the clinicians do not want to appear to be "pushing" ejections, but I do know that in my first couple of years, I let things go that I should not have, and would not let go now. I had no real training in where the line was and how to recognize it when it was crossed and whether I would be "backed up" by my UIC, etc.
Something for clinicians to think about.
