I would not have heard the comments - chatter coming from someone venting in the dugout has to be EXTREMELY long, or EXTREMELY offensive to even get my attention. (Now have this same coach run out on to the field yelling that, and I agree ... buh bye coach).
That sentence, screamed as it was in the video, is an ejection. Not because of the word "you" but because of the obnoxious nature of the rest of it.

SP softball umpires only survive in these leagues one way. Have a hair trigger and eject anyone that even looks at you funny. Otherwise, you get what we have on the video.

I tried doing this back when I was a younger umpire and I just realized I'd rather stay home than do this crap. Of course I feel the same way about ALL softball now.
