Im like there is a reason why im firm with that. NO aruging judgement calls. Period. We'll she didnt find that nice, and ever since then i've had trouble with the board members and the UIC...who by the way...isnt an umpire. Just some lady who has a son in the minor division. That brings me to something else before this. One game on May 1st I threw out 2 coaches from the same team after the one decided to argue outs/safes with the base umpire...and balls/strikes with me. (his team was losing) and the other coach decided to tell me i cant eject people and this and that. But anyhow, this UIC, the ladys son, played on that team. She was at the game the night i threw them out. She gives me some garbage after ward for throwing out her sons coaches. Shes not an umpire...what does she know about on feild stuff here..she was out in the left field bleechers. Ive had problems with idiots like that who get pissed at umpires for enforcing the rule. ugh  |
Does your league follow Little League rules or not? On coaches coming out of the dugout to argue, you have black-letter tournament rule in support of you - TR 7 begins
"A manager or coach may not leave a dugout for any reason during a game without receiving permission from an umpire. The manager or coach may be removed from the field for the remainder of the game for violation of this rule."
During regular season when you eject participants, does the board enforce the next game suspension rule? Has the board constituted a disciplinary committee that requires ejected players and/or coaches to appear before it to explain their actions?
I know dealing with league political BS is hard, especially for a teenager, but at some point you have to decide whether this league is, as an organization, going to operate within the rules it is chartered to operate under, or not. If not, find another league.
