I think the umpire did the morally correct thing, and what I would want to see him do if it were my kid (catcher).
Here in California, birthplace of the frivolous lawsuit, I have seen coaches have legal action taken against them for just grabbing a player's jersey while talking to them.
So out here, it's hands off, and take down numbers. This is also our Associations official instructions and policy.
