I don't give any behavior advice at the plate meeting, unless I know of a bad blood situation between the two teams in a previous game. Then I clearlly establish that I will have ZERO TOLERENCE in this game.
Otherwise, I apply the 3 P's. Personal, profane and prolonged. Personal and profane comments directed at me are instantaneous ejections. Prolonged takes a little more time, but if the offender does not react to a good hard stare, and maybe a "that's enough coach" comment then I dump him.
